Akkadian Health is not a bulk-billing practice.
You must pay all fees in full after each appointment.
You authorise Akkadian Health to charge your stored Credit Card for all applicable fees - as such, please ensure sufficient funds are available to avoid additional administration or late payment fees.
Akkadian Health may cancel, suspend or terminate services if fees are past due.
Fee Schedule.
PSYCHIATRY
Psychiatry services require a referral.
ONE OFF. You may be referred to Akkadian Health medical specialist psychiatry services for a one-off 'General Psychiatric Assessment' as your only appointment with a comprehensive report sent back to your referring GP. ‘General Psychiatric Assessment’ fee is $659 and the Medicare rebate is $406.
MULTIPLE SESSIONS. Your treating psychiatrist may bill for an ‘Initial Consultation (new patient)’ instead of a ‘General Psychiatric Assessment’ - if additional consultations are considered necessary or likely. Please confirm this with your psychiatrist as the fee for your first appointment will then vary and there may be additional fees for each ongoing consultation. The 'Initial Consultation (new patient)' fee is $429 and the rebate is $234.
NOTE: ADHD ASSESSMENTS are now conducted across two sessions as part of our pre-paid ADHD CARE PACKAGE.
All fees are in line with national averages for private practice Psychiatric Services - which we review regularly.
We process your Medicare claim immediately once full payment of fees is received. The rebate then takes 2-3 working days to return into the bank account you have nominated with Medicare.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Akkadian Health Psychology and Mental Health Clinician allied health services can be accessed by anyone.
Psychology sessions are normally $198 (50 minutes) .
A Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from a GP (or treating psychiatrist) will allow you to receive a Medicare rebate of $89 for up to 10 Psychology sessions per year under the current Australian Government Better Access initiative.
If you have private health extras cover, allied health fees may be reimbursed - please check with your provider.
