PRIVATE (non-GP)
Choosing to see a psychologist privately offers several advantages over Medicare-covered sessions. While Medicare provides limited coverage under the Mental Health Care Plan, private sessions allow for more flexibility and continuity of care. Individuals can schedule appointments according to their needs and have the opportunity for longer sessions, facilitating deeper exploration and tailored treatment plans. Furthermore, private psychologists often provide specialized, evidence-based services that may not be available through Medicare, ensuring a more personalized approach to mental health care. Additionally, psychological services may also be covered or buffered by private insurance arrangements, further reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Overall, opting for private sessions empowers individuals to prioritize their mental well-being with comprehensive support beyond government constraints.
Key Advantages of Private Psychological Sessions:
-
Flexibility in scheduling appointments based on individual needs
-
Longer session durations for deeper exploration
-
Tailored treatment plans specific to the individual
-
Access to specialized therapies not available through Medicare
-
Potential coverage from private insurance arrangements to reduce costs
-
Continuity of care without government-imposed limitations

Medicare covers up to 10 sessions per year, allowing individuals to access professional care at a reduced cost. The MHCP offers a structured treatment approach, with options for renewal and additional sessions when necessary, ensuring continued support. Choosing Medicare-covered sessions also grants access to evidence-based treatments endorsed by the healthcare system, ensuring quality care that aligns with best practices.
