If you feel that you would be eligible for a rebate under Medicare Better Access Initiative due to mental health difficulties encountered in managing ADHD symptoms, then you could meet with your GP or Specialist to discuss your eligibility for a Mental Health Care Plan and obtain a referral under the Better Access Initiative, namely group therapy item number 80127.
You will need to supply your referral letter from a specialist or a mental health plan and referral from a GP for Group Therapy, item no 80120. Participants without referrals are welcome to participate, however, they will not be entitled to a Medicare Rebate.
You must supply your referral or Mental Health Care Plan prior to the commencement of the program in order to receive the Medicare Rebate.
For those who have an eligible referral, a receipt per session attended will be emailed following attendance at a session. These receipts can be used to claim a Medicare rebate of approximately $22.55 per session attended.
Please note that Medicare rebates cannot be claimed for sessions which the client does not attend and it is a Medicare requirement that a minimum of 6 participants attend in order for any participants to get the rebate. We cannot guarantee the rebate due to participant non-attendance should total numbers fall below the minimum requirement of 6.
If you wish to access your private healthcare cover, please check with your provider if you are entitled to a rebate from your private health insurance policy.
