Claim Medicare For a Telehealth Consultation


The pandemic has made one thing clear: not all patients can consult specialists in person. Quality medical care is the fundamental right of all humans. Nothing must come in its way.

Australia stands at the forefront in terms of Medicare telehealth services. There are specified telehealth-eligible areas in the country. Residents of these areas have access to specialist video consultations under Medicare. As such, many patients get easy access to specialists without having to travel to major cities.


  • Requirements for delivery of Medicare telehealth Services

Though the patient needs to be in a telehealth-eligible area during the consultation, there is no such geographical restriction for the healthcare professional. 


Such consultations are provided only by the medical practitioners who are registered to practice (as specified in the Health Insurance Act 1973).


Before providing Medicare telehealth services, both parties must ensure that all patient-specialist information is kept confidential.


  • Quality of Telehealth Services


The doctors must warrant that the chosen technical solution has high-resolution video quality to provide the clinical service.


They need to ensure that the hardware & software used during a videoconference meet the set standards for privacy & security.


If you require such Medicare telehealth services, reach out to the team at Hale Road Medical.
