Forensic treatment, like treatment for sexual problem behaviours, is not covered by Medicare. However, depending on the nature of your presenting problem—namely, if there are any clinical considerations—you may be eligible for a Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plan and Medicare refunds ($141.85) for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. (For more information, see the FAQ section.) Refunds may also be available through private health insurance. Refunds may not be claimed from both Medicare and private health insurance for the same session.
