I paid for my session in full but never received my Medicare rebate. What do I do?
Check that Medicare has your bank account details (this can be done via MyGov. PSYCH2U cannot check this for you)
If Medicare does have your bank account details, then double check with PSYCH2U that we have processed your rebate.
If PSYCH2U tried to process the rebate and Medicare does not have your bank account details, then you will need to provide Medicare with your bank details and receipt from your appointment (PSYCH2U cannot do this for you).
Future Medicare rebates will be able to be processed by us once you have set up your bank details.
If none of the above work, you will need to consider whether you have used up your mental health treatment plan limits or if your GP has correctly assigned an MHTP.
Can I claim on Medicare or with my private health insurer?
You may be able to claim your appointment through Medicare or your private health insurer. PSYCH2U processes eligible Medicare rebates within 48 hours of your appointment, with the rebate deposited directly into your Medicare-nominated bank account.
Is bulk billing available for Medicare-eligible services?
Bulk billing is limited, however may be available for eligible patients in rural areas. Please contact our admin team via email at support@psych2u.com.au to clarify eligibility.
