the appropriate medical care in a way that is convenient and safe for the community. The introduction to telehealth has ensured that your relationship with your GP can continue. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> If you are experiencing any flu like symptoms, You will be asked to book in with your GP for a telephone consult.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> As of 1st October 2020, Telehealth Consultations will no longer be routinely bulk-billed for all patients. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Medicare patients with a full pension card will continued to be bulk billed for telehealth consultations, provided they have attended the clinic for a Face-to-Face Appointment in the last 12 months. If you are unsure about this please call our receptionists on 97137988 to check. <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A private fee will apply for all other telehealth consultations.  After the Medicare Rebate, patients will be out of pocket between $20-$35. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> For New patients and existing patents that haven't been seen Face-to-Face in the last 12 months an $80 non-rebatable fee will apply. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Payment will be collected after the consultation, via a secure payment request we send from Hotdoc, or over the phone. Medicare rebates will be processed online to save you hassle.
