Telehealth and Medicare.
Medicare telehealth consults are generally available to patients who have seen a GP at the practice in person within the last 12 months, with some exemptions, such as children under 12 months and people in certain circumstances.
Patients registered with Warwick Doctors through MyMedicare can access longer phone consultations with their registered practice. Registration is free and voluntary.
Telehealth GP consults are bulk billed for eligible patients with a valid Medicare card, where they meet Medicare requirements.
Telehealth consults are treated like any other consultation. The practice does not record the call, and your GP takes calls from a private space.
