Telehealth and phone-consultation expectations
The clinic’s fee page says telephone consultations are available for convenience. A doctor may decide that an in-person examination is still required, with standard consultation fees applying.
Telehealth may help when…
The concern is suitable for remote discussion and does not clearly require a physical examination, procedure or test at the clinic.
An in-person visit may still be required
The doctor may arrange a clinic appointment after the phone consultation. Ask whether another consultation fee may apply.
Telehealth fee script
“Is this concern suitable for a phone consultation, what is the fee, and could I need a second paid in-person appointment after the call?”
After-hours care and emergency contacts
