5Are there any sexual health concerns that cannot be addressed through telehealth?
While we can address many concerns remotely, some conditions may require a physical examination. If this is the case, our doctor will advise you to seek an in-person consultation.
6What happens during a sexual health telehealth consultation?
You will have a confidential discussion with one of our experienced doctors. They will ask you about your concerns, medical history, and any relevant symptoms. They may also provide advice, order tests (if necessary), and prescribe treatment where appropriate.
7 Will I need to do any physical examinations myself during the consultation?
In most cases, no. The consultation will primarily involve a verbal discussion of your concerns. If a physical examination is required, you will be advised to see a healthcare professional in person.
8How do I get tested for STIs through telehealth?
If testing is necessary, our doctor will provide you with a pathology request form. You can then take this form to a local pathology lab for testing. The results will be sent back to our doctor, who will then discuss them with you.
Prescriptions and Referrals:
9Can I get prescriptions for STI treatment or contraception through telehealth?
Yes, our doctors can prescribe appropriate medications for STI treatment and contraception where clinically appropriate.
10Can I get a referral to a specialist if needed?
Yes, if our doctor determines that a referral to a specialist is necessary, they can provide you with one.
11How much does a sexual health telehealth consultation cost?
We offer bulk billing for patients with a valid Australian Health Care Card or concession card. For patients with a Medicare card but without a Health Care Card, a private fee applies. Medicare rebates are available. Please visit our pricing page for details.
12What does "bulk billing" mean?
Bulk billing means that you will not have any out-of-pocket expenses for your consultation if you have a valid Health Care Card. Medicare will cover the cost of the consultation directly.
13If I have Medicare but not a Health Care Card, can I get a rebate?
Yes. If you have a Medicare card, you will pay a private fee for your consultation. However, you will be eligible for a Medicare rebate, which is automatically processed and refunded into your bank account linked to Medicare.
14How does the Medicare rebate work?
After your consultation, we will process your Medicare claim electronically. The rebate will then be automatically deposited into your nominated bank account with Medicare, usually within a few business days.
15Is telehealth suitable for all sexual health emergencies?
No. If you are experiencing a medical emergency related to your sexual health (e.g., severe pain, heavy bleeding), please seek immediate medical attention at your nearest emergency department or call emergency services (000 in Australia).
