The average out-of-pocket cost for patients who paid gap fees for psychological treatment under Better Access is $78 per consult, the Federal Government has revealed.
The out-of-pocket fees were applied to exactly half of the 11 million consults delivered under the scheme during the last financial year – the rest were bulk-billed.
