After your consultation, any medical certificates or referrals you requested will be sent to your email. Additionally, if prescribed medication, you can receive an electronic script (eScript) to your phone or email, or have it sent to a nearby pharmacy.

What is an eScript?
An eScript comes as a unique QR barcode (known as a 'token') to your mobile phone. You can email it to your preferred pharmacy to have your script ready in advance, or show it on your phone when you go in person and have your script filled.

Frequently Asked Questions
For telehealth only providers, Medicare rebates are generally not available.
For local GPs offering telehealth services, Medicare rebates are generally limited to where you have an existing relationship as defined by:
- where you are registered in MyMedicare and the service is provided by your registered practice
- when you have previously had a face-to-face appointment with the GP performing the service or another GP at the same practice in the last 12 months
- where a practice is a participant in the Approved Medical Deputising Service program, and the Approved Medical Deputising Service provider employing the medical practitioner has a formal agreement with a general practice that has provided at least one face-to-face service to the patient in the 12 months preceding the telehealth attendance.
Under legislation, the existing relationship requirement does not apply in some limited situations which can be found on the Medicare Benefits Schedule website.
No Controlled Drugs (also referred to as S8 (Schedule 8) medications such as narcotics) or other drugs of addiction (such as Valium) will be prescribed by the Telehealth service. Schedule 4 drugs which have the potential to cause harm or be misused such as benzodiazepines, duromine, lyrica, zolpidem, zopiclone, quetiapine and high strength codeine will also not be prescribed. These medications require close monitoring by your regular doctor. Refusal of prescription requests for these types of medications will not result in a refund of Telehealth consult.
