Please note:

• Clients with a concession card and a childless household  income below $900 and with children below $1800 are bulk billed.  The rebate is paid by Medicare to Christiane Jaeger, Jaeger Psychology.
• Clients with private health insurance will not be bulk billed.
• Clients without a healthcare card and/or private health insurance will have to pay the full amount at the end of each session to Christiane Jaeger and will be reimbursed by Medicare.  
• It is important that your 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 healthcare card number, if having one, whether you have private health insurance, Medicare card number and expiry date, and banking card number and details to be able to do the fee processing. 
I will not accept cash, as I will not hold any cash on the premise.
