How many Medicare sessions do I have left?

Your Documents page shows how many Medicare sessions are left on your Mental Health Treatment Plan.

You can check your remaining Medicare sessions at any time.

  1. Log in.
  2. Select Documents.
  3. Look at your Mental Health Treatment Plan. It shows how many sessions you have left, for example 4 of 10 Medicare sessions left.

Your session count stays with you if you change psychologist.

What happens when my sessions run out?

There are two limits:

  • Your referral covers a set number of sessions. When they're used, your Documents page shows No sessions left on this plan. See your GP for a review and ask for a new referral, then upload it on your Documents page.
  • Medicare's yearly limit covers up to 10 individual psychology sessions each calendar year. This includes sessions with any provider, not just Someone Health. Once you've reached it, a new referral won't add more Medicare sessions until the next calendar year.

If you book an appointment without any Medicare sessions left, it's charged as a private session. See how much does each session cost?

A concession or healthcare card doesn't add extra free sessions once your Medicare sessions are used.

Does my referral or plan expire?

Your Mental Health Treatment Plan doesn't expire. Your GP referral lasts until you've used the sessions written on it, unless your GP writes an expiry date on it. Unused sessions carry over into the next year while the referral is still valid. Read when do I need to visit my GP for a review?
