Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Telehealth GP Consultation?

A telehealth GP consultation is a medical appointment conducted remotely, usually by telephone or video call where available. It allows a doctor to assess suitable health concerns, provide medical advice and discuss treatment or follow-up care without an in-person visit.

Can I Book a Telehealth Doctor Appointment in Keysborough?

You can contact Keysborough Superclinic to enquire about available telehealth appointments. Our team can explain the booking process, appointment availability and whether telehealth may be appropriate for your medical concern.

Does Medicare Cover Telehealth GP Consultations?

Medicare rebates may be available for eligible telehealth consultations when the applicable Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) requirements are met. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, the type of consultation and applicable requirements. Please contact the clinic to confirm your eligibility and any out-of-pocket costs.

Do I Need to Visit the Clinic Before Booking Telehealth?

For many standard GP telehealth services, Medicare eligibility generally requires a face-to-face consultation with your GP or another GP at the same practice within the previous 12 months, unless an applicable exemption or alternative eligibility arrangement applies. Other requirements may apply depending on the service and your MyMedicare registration.

Can I Get a Repeat Prescription Through Telehealth?

Your doctor may assess your repeat prescription request during a telehealth consultation. Prescriptions are not guaranteed and depend on your medical history, clinical assessment, medication type and applicable prescribing requirements. An in-person appointment may be required.

Can I Get a Medical Certificate Through Telehealth?

A medical certificate may be issued following a telehealth consultation if the doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Issuing a certificate is at the doctor’s discretion and is not guaranteed. An in-person assessment may be required.

Can Children Have Telehealth Consultations?

Some children’s health concerns may be assessed through telehealth, depending on the child’s age, symptoms and clinical needs. If a physical examination is required or the child’s condition may be serious, the doctor may recommend an in-person assessment or urgent medical care.

What Conditions Can Be Treated Through Telehealth?

Telehealth may be suitable for selected minor illnesses, medication reviews, follow-up appointments, discussion of test results and ongoing health management. Not every condition can be safely assessed remotely, and your doctor may recommend an in-person consultation if necessary.

Is Telehealth Suitable for Medical Emergencies?

No. Telehealth is not intended to replace emergency medical care. For a life-threatening emergency in Australia, call 000 immediately or attend your nearest Emergency Department.

Do I Have to Pay for a Telehealth Consultation?

Consultation fees and Medicare rebates depend on the service and your eligibility. An out-of-pocket fee may apply. Please contact Keysborough Superclinic before your appointment to confirm the current fee and any applicable Medicare rebate.
