From 1 November, as part of new funding changes under Medicare, two item numbers that supported GP-led mental health care consultations and Mental Health Care Plan reviews will be removed.

Mental health issues can be complex and often require ongoing support or longer appointments. These items have helped keep mental health care more affordable for many of our patients.

Previously, If your appointment involved mental health support, your doctor could bill Medicare directly using one of these Mental Health items, rather than charging you for a longer consultation or billing privately for both items.

This allowed them to take the extra time needed to support you without increasing your out-of-pocket cost.

With these item numbers removed, patients may face higher upfront or out-of-pocket costs for longer or more complex mental health appointments.

We understand this may make accessing care more challenging, and we share your concern.

If these changes affect you, please consider sharing your views with your local Member of Parliament or directly with Medicare.

For more information about these changes, visit the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing website or read the MBS online statement.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing trust.

You might have heard about MyMedicare from your doctor or seen a flyer in the waiting room at the practice, but what does it really mean for you?

MyMedicare is a simple way to officially register with your preferred GP and practice, helping you access care that suits your health needs and supports continuity of care - like longer phone consultations.
