Bulk Billed Psychology
Bulk Billing is a method of receiving mental health care treatment without any out-of-pocket expenses. Instead, the healthcare provider accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment.
So, with a valid Mental Health Care Plan, you can access up to 10 free psychology sessions a year. Click the button below to learn more about mental health care treatment plans.
Accessible Mental Health Care
Few psychologists are able to bulk bill – which can, unfortunately inhibit access to mental health support. This lack of bulk-billing is usually due to rising costs and other overhead expenses that health services may need to account for.
Currently, the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi) express a recommended fee of $300 for a standard psychology consultation.
Fortunatley, our clinic can continue to bulk-bill psychology services by having strategically developed a lightweight, tech-powered model.
Planning, Strategy, Execution
With deliberate strategic planning, our practice utilises various factors which have allowed us to be fortunate enough to offer bulk billing in our service. Some of these include:
- Adopting telehealth services.
- Minimising spending on marketing and advertising, and instead investing in clinic efficiency and productivity,
- Decreasing unnecessary overhead expenses.
- Investing in automated software for testing and assessment scoring.
- Streamlining and automating administration procedures.
