Changes to Medicare direct bill Telephone consultations from

Monday 20th July 2020

• Government changes have meant NEW restrictions to the Medicare rebate for Telephone Consultations UNLESS the patient has attended an IN SURGERY consultation in the past 12 months.

• In line with these changes we have implemented the following

• * Current patients who have been in the surgery for a consultation in the past 12 months, can have a Medicare Rebateable telephone consultation.

• * Current patients who have not been into the surgery in the past 12 months, can attend in person if triaged to NOT be a COVID-19 risk. If a telephone consultation is needed, there will be a $50.00 non medicare rebateable charge for the consultation.

• * New patients will be required to initially have a telephone consultation to assess their history & COVID-19 risk, there will be a $50.00 non medicare rebate charge.

• * PENNANT HILLS MEDICAL CENTRE understands that during the past few months, our patients have had to adapt to many changes. We appreciate the understanding and care you have shown through this period of constant change.
