Welcome to
Westcare Medical
Centre Thornlie
Covid - 19
Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie would like to inform our patients that in light of the current situation with the Coronavirus/ Covid19, we are now no longer accepting patients for face-to-face appointments.
From 20th March 2020, we will strictly be doing telehealth consultations only (phone/video appointments).
This measure has been put in place to ensure that the safe delivery of healthcare is maintained at Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie, ensuring the safety of our doctors, staff and patients. We are dedicated to continue providing a safe and effective healthcare service through this time.
In light of Medicare not providing payment for the vast majority of our patients, we have reviewed the situation and are only charging the Medicare Bulk Billing fee of $38.00 per telephone consultation.
Our prime focus is keeping both our staff and patients healthy during this difficult unprecedented time and have kept costs to an absolute minimum.
“Telephone/video consults are bulk billed for patients meeting the current criteria we have listed below, otherwise the cost is $38.00 and is not Medicare rebatable.
Some exceptions apply to billing, to allow our most vunerable patient to access healthcare services when required, as outlined below.
Fully bulk-billed telehealth consultations are available to those most at-risk if you have Medicare, and:
- Over 70years of age;
- Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander over 50years of age;
- Relevant diagnosed chronic health conditions or significantly immunocompromised patients
Westcare Medical will also be providing telehealth consults to patients who are in self-isolation on the advice of a medical practitioner, if you have tested positive to COVID-19, or in accordance with home isolation guidance issued by AHPPC.
Please us on (08) 6112 2844 to book your telehealth appointment.
We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.
Please note, this service is a replacement of appointments you would usually attend and only available to those at higher risk or those who are in self-isolation. Due to limited practitioner availability, please avoid booking unnecessary consults, to ensure all patients can be seen when required. As this is a rapidly evolving situation, conditions and eligibility may be subject to change.
Rare exceptions may be given to those who are in urgent need of care, in certain circumstances. If you are requiring urgent medical treatment, please call us on (08) 6112 2844 to discuss your options.
