Pricing
Don't let the cost define your mental health. Belen aims to keep the fees affordable so that you can prioritize what's truly important.
Your GP can assess your eligibility for a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). We recommend booking a longer appointment with your GP to allow sufficient time for them to complete this.
Eligible clients with a MHTP or a referral from a psychiatrist can claim Medicare rebates for up to:
• $93.35 rebate per session with a Registered Psychologist
• 10 individual sessions per calendar year
Full payment is required at the time of your appointment. If you are eligible for a Medicare rebate, this will be processed once payment has been made, and Medicare will deposit the rebate directly into your nominated bank account.
Please note that Belen Estrada Psychology is not a bulk-billing practice.
To check your eligibility or rebate amount, please contact your health insurer directly. We can process your rebate on the spot at the end of your appointment, so you’ll only need to pay the gap fee. Alternatively, you can submit the claim yourself with your insurer after the session.
