Did you know you may be able to claim a higher Medicare rebate through Medicare Safety Nets?

Medicare Safety Nets can help to lower your out of pocket medical costs.

If you need to see a doctor or get tests regularly, you could end up with high medical costs. Medicare Safety Nets can help to lower your out of pocket costs, by increasing your Medicare rebates once you reach a certain amount of out-of-pocket costs within a calendar year (1 January – 31 December).

Once you reach the annual threshold, Medicare will pay you higher rebates (up to 80% of your out-of-pocket costs) for the rest of the year.

These can include:

• GP and specialist consultations

• Pathology and radiology

• Psychology services

• Some allied health services (with a Medicare item number)

Please note: Your doctor’s fee will remain the same, but you’ll receive more back from Medicare once you’ve reached the threshold.

To learn more or to register as a family or couple, visit the Services Australia website.

No referral is required and new patients aged 12 or older, are welcome.

If you do not have a regular general practitioner, we will be able to arrange a Chronic Disease Management plan and/or a Mental Health Care plan to support you to access allied health services with a Medicare rebate (such as dietitians or psychologists or exercise physiologists).

However, our preference is for your regular general practitioner / specialist to be involved in your journey to a healthier you, so your regular general practitioner will also be able to arrange these care plans and other services for you.
