Telehealth
What is Telehealth
Telehealth is the delivery of health care, health education, and health information services via remote technologies, e.g. a video call or a telephone call.
Why Telehealth?
Telehealth is rapidly growing in the health space at the moment. It allows skilled practitioners to access patients who: are rural + remote, have compromised immune systems, are disabled, are elderly, in confinement, or who simply can’t make it (think mum’s with toddlers + newborns etc.).
Although Telehealth will work differently to your regular appointment type, it still offers many benefits to the patient.
Our therapists are skilled at providing education, assisting you in treating yourself at home, supervising and advising on suitable home exercise if you have complex exercise requirements and prescribing herbs and supplements if relevant.
Telehealth is now claimable on private health insurance.
People with Enhanced Primary Care plans (EPCs), also known as chronic condition management plans, will be entitled to completely bulk billed physiotherapy Telehealth sessions.
This will count as a treatment within your allocated appointments prescribed by your general practitioner.
Please call reception, Ph: 02 6262 9442, to book one of these appointment types if you have an EPC, would like to use it for a Telehealth appointment, and request it to be bulk billed.
