About Medicare Rebates
What is Medicare?
Medicare is Australia's universal health insurance scheme that provides access to medical and hospital services for all Australian residents.
Medicare Safety Nets
Medicare Safety Nets provide additional financial assistance once you've reached certain thresholds of out-of-pocket expenses.
Ordinary Medicare Safety Net (OMSN)
After reaching the OMSN threshold, Medicare pays 100% of the schedule fee for out-of-hospital services.
Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN)
After reaching the EMSN threshold, Medicare pays 80% of out-of-pocket costs, subject to caps on some items.
Understanding Your Rebate
The Medicare rebate is the amount Medicare pays towards the cost of your medical service. For most consultations, this is 85% of the MBS fee for out-of-hospital services.
This calculator provides estimates based on current MBS data. Actual rebates may vary.
