Please note:

• Clients with a low income concession card are bulk billed.  The Medicare rebate for each session is paid by Medicare to Christiane Jaeger, Jaeger Psychology.
• Clients claiming private health insurance will not be bulk billed.
• Clients without a low income concession card and/or private health insurance will have to pay the full amount at the end of each session and will be reimbursed by Medicare.  It is important that banking details are registered with Medicare.

Please note you cannot use your private health insurance ancillary cover in conjunction with Medicare rebates for psychology services.
 
I will ask for your private health insurance details if you have one,  collect your healthcare card number, Medicare card number and expiry date, and banking details to be able to do the fee processing.
I will not accept cash, as I will not hold any cash on the premise.
