Utilising Medicare rebates before 31st December 2023……
If you’re thinking about seeing a psychologist and your GP says that you're eligible for a Medicare referral, now is the ideal time of year to get started with sessions.
You’ll have access to up to 10 Medicare rebates until 31st December 2023. Then on 1st January 2024, if your GP says that you continue to be eligible, you’ll have access to up to a further 10 rebated sessions.
If you have an existing Medicare referral that you've already started to use and you haven't used all 10 of your rebatable sessions, now is also an ideal time to use up the remaining sessions. If your GP agrees, you will potentially have access to up to a further 10 sessions on 1st January 2024. Please note, the up to 10 rebated sessions are per calendar year (i.e. January-December) and any unused sessions from the previous year cannot be added onto the potential 10 rebated sessions the following year.
Medicare is a confusing system, but hopefully this helps to explain how it works as we come towards the close of the year!
