What Does Treatment Cost
Treatment Costs at Monarch Mental Health Group
The Monarch Mental Health Group offers a range of treatment pathways including transcranial magnetic stimulation, next-step medication and bespoke treatment programs. Costs for these different treatments depend on several variables including Medicare rebates, concession cards, private health cover and safety net allowance.

TMS and Medicare

New items for Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) therapy services have been added to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) for eligible patients with diagnosed medication-resistant major depressive disorder, more eligibility information can be found here. If you are suffering from depression, you must speak with your healthcare provider about your treatment. If TMS is deemed suitable, do not delay contacting Monarch Mental Health Group – we can assist with identifying funding options and help you access treatment when you need it.

Private Health Cover
The Monarch Mental Health Group has exclusive private health coverage with some funds on a pilot basis. This means some patients may have their treatment costs covered by their private health providers if they fulfil certain criteria. Under the pilot program, patients may not switch funds to have their TMS covered and will be ineligible to have their TMS funded if they do so. Contact our intake specialist team to find out if you are eligible.
Other payment options are available, and our team will try to find a solution for you to start treatment as soon as possible.
