If you have a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan and a referral from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on psychology sessions with eligible AHPRA-registered psychologists.
What is a Chronic Disease Management Plan?
A Chronic Disease Management Plan is designed to support people living with a chronic medical condition that has been present, or is expected to be present, for six months or longer.
To access services under a CDM Plan, your GP will need to prepare:
A GP Management Plan (GPMP)
Team Care Arrangements (TCA)
A referral to an eligible allied health provider
How do I use my CDM Plan with My Mirror?
1. Obtain a referral from your GP
Speak with your GP to determine whether you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan and a referral for psychology services.
2. Send us your referral
Email your CDM referral to [email protected].
3. We'll prepare your account
Once we receive your referral, our team will configure your account so eligible Medicare rebates can be applied to your psychology appointments.
How many psychology sessions does a CDM Plan cover?
A Chronic Disease Management Plan may provide access to up to five Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions per calendar year.
Please note that the Medicare rebate available under a CDM Plan is generally lower than the rebate available through a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP/MHCP).
Can I claim Medicare rebates with a CDM Plan?
Yes. If you have a valid CDM referral and attend an eligible psychology appointment, you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate.
