Private Health Funds
Some private funds offer cover for counselling services as part of their 'extras' cover. It is important to check with your health fund provider to see if you are eligible to claim rebates.
CMS Vic is a registered healthcare provider under the 'extras' packages for Latrobe Health (Federation) CBHS, and Australian Unity.
Medicare rebates currently do not apply.
