Telehealth GP reality

Telehealth GP at Pacific Pines Medical Centre

The official telehealth page says doctors prefer face-to-face consultations because that is best practice and better care. A phone consult may be used in some situations, such as COVID-positive patients or patients home from surgery.

How to request telehealth Call 07 5529 8655 The official telehealth page says to call the practice to book a phone consult.
What happens Doctor calls you The doctor calls at the allocated time and your consultation starts by phone.
Bulk-billing SMS Submit details after call After the consult, you receive an SMS and submit details so it can be sent to Medicare for bulk billing.
Decide if telehealth is suitable. Use telehealth for simple follow-up-style issues only if reception agrees. New symptoms, examination needs, pain, injury, rash, breathing concerns, pregnancy worries or procedures often need face-to-face care.
Call reception instead of only booking online. Healthengine says online appointments are for face-to-face consultations, so phone reception if you need a phone consult.
Be ready at the allocated time. Use a quiet, private space. Keep your phone nearby, and make sure unknown/private numbers are not blocked.
Complete the Medicare SMS after the call. After your telehealth consultation ends, follow the SMS instructions and submit your details for Medicare bulk-billing processing.
Do not present telehealth as instant online chat. The official process is phone-based and arranged by calling the practice.
Micro booking steps

How to Book Pacific Pines Medical Centre Without Choosing the Wrong Visit

Confirm the right clinic. Use Shop 6/19 Pitcairn Way and phone 07 5529 8655.
Use Healthengine for normal face-to-face GP appointments. Choose the doctor, date and time. Healthengine shows the practice as bulk billing and telehealth enabled, but online appointment wording says face-to-face.
Call for telehealth. Phone consults are not the same as normal online bookings. Call and explain why a phone consult is needed.
Call for procedures and special services. Call before booking IUD/Mirena, iron infusion, skin excision, WorkCover, home visit, travel medicine, acupuncture, ABI, spirometry or anything that may need a nurse/procedure room.
Arrive prepared and early. The services page says pre-appointment check-in is required 10 minutes early for at least one service section. Arriving early is safer for forms and eligibility checks.
