The government has extended the medicare telehealth scheme, however, we are unable to bulk bill telehealth consults for patients who have not attended the practice in person in the last 12 months. We are still able to provide telehealth consultations for these patients, however the consultations will incur a fee of $58.75, which does not qualify for a medicare rebate. Patients who have been seen in the practice in the last 12 months are eligible for a medicare rebate of $38.75.
