private health insurance rebates
If you have private health insurance you may be eligible to claim rebates for individual and group psychological sessions depending on your ‘extras’ cover plan. We recommend that you check with your insurer about rebate amounts. We can not process your private health rebates electronically at the practice so you need to send the session receipt paid in full to your provider.
