Important Medicare Information

To be eligible to claim a Medicare benefit for a telehealth appointment, Medicare generally requires you to have had an in-person appointment for yourself at the practice within the previous 12 months.

If you have not had your own in-person appointment at the practice within the last 12 months, you may need to book an in-clinic appointment before you are eligible to claim a Medicare benefit for a telehealth consultation.

Please note: Bringing a child, family member or another person to their appointment does not count as an in-person appointment for you.

If you are unsure when you last attended for your own appointment, please contact our reception team and we will be happy to assist.
