It costs $217(AUS) per hour but Medicare pay $150:00 per visit until I end up $550:00 out of pocket then Medicare pay 80%.
I have also requested TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and he has been okay with that. TMS didn't work.

So he wont write you a script there and then you have to go to a gp ???????the shrink usually write the first script and send your notes to the GP who then writes a repeat. THATS A BUMMER he has given you a med , then you have to wait till your gp gets his reply , then he sends for you to script it. You have been given a med and the shrink has the power to script it, but he sends you back to the gp . bummer
