Making your Medicare Claim
Prepare your documents
-
Your GP Referral Letter (Mental Health Care Plan) with the date and the GP's Medicare Provider number.
-
Your paid invoice from your psychologist which specifies the date of treatment, the Psychologist's Medicare Provider Number and the Medicare Item Number that identifies the treatment provided.
Sign into Medicare & check your details
Log into your Medicare account with your MyGov login. If you do not have a Medicare or MyGov account you will need to create one. Medicare will pay your benefit into the bank account you’ve registered with them so ensure this is correct before proceeding.​
Submit your claim
Select “Make a claim”. Complete and submit the claim form. When you submit your claim online, you’ll usually get your benefit within 7 days. Please note that Medicare can not accept online claims for services over 2 years old.​
