Are there any co-claiming restrictions on billing both a menopause assessment and a mental health treatment plan?

Context

This question actually came from a consumer who saw items 695 and 2715 billed on her Medicare statement by her GP. The total consult time for both services was 35 minutes and according to the patient, mental health was not really discussed in much detail and no treatment plan was prepared. The patient was concerned about what appeared to her to be waste and abuse in Medicare.
