Answer:
Yes. You can book a GP consultation to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) via InstantScripts.
InstantScripts Mental Health Care Plans are available through a convenient, Medicare‑rebated 20‑minute video consultation with one of our Australian‑registered GPs.
During your appointment, the GP will work with you to understand your mental health concerns, determine the type of care you may need, and outline clear goals that you and your doctor agree to work toward. Your Mental Health Care Plan can also help you access Medicare‑subsidised sessions with a mental health professional.
What Will I Pay for a Mental Health Care Plan?
While the consultation itself is not bulk billed, the Medicare rebate significantly reduces your out‑of‑pocket cost.
Price Breakdown
Service | Fee |
Doctor Telehealth Consultation | $155.20 |
Medicare Rebate | –$106.20 |
Out‑of‑Pocket Cost | $49 |
Your total cost after the Medicare rebate is only $49.
