Streamline your PMB psychotherapy applications: Mandatory digital transition starting 1 November 2025
Important Notice for Mental Health Practitioners
From 1 November 2025, all Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) psychotherapy applications must be submitted digitally through HealthID.
This mandatory transition ensures:
- Instant decisions as you submit applications
- A streamlined four-step process for busy practitioners
- A reduced administrative burden on your practice
- Faster patient access to essential mental health benefits.
Enrolling patients in the Mental Health Care Programme unlocks two benefits with a single application. Your patients gain access to additional programme benefits AND automatic psychotherapy allocation in the PMB basket of care for out-of-hospital treatment.
Please see the attached Discovery Health communication for more details.
