You do not need a GP referral to book your appointment, however you will require one at the time of your consultation in order to get a partial Medicare rebate.
- Please email us your GP referral if possible. If your Doctor is sending a referral directly to our rooms, please contact us a few days prior to your appointment to confirm we have received it.
- If not already discussed please let us know where you have had any imaging taken (eg. SKG, PRC, Western Radiology.). This ensures we can electronically access your scans. We ask that you patients do not bring hard copies of scans and imaging CDs unless discussed with our office prior to your appointment.
- Please bring your Health Cards: Medicare Card, Pension Card (if applicable), DVA card (if applicable), Private Health Fund Card.
- Have your Provider Details: Please have the details of your regular GP (if they are different to your referring doctor), physiotherapist, and other relevant specialists to hand. This helps to make the process smoother in the event that we need to contact them.
- Workers Compensation Patients: Ensure you bring the details of your insurance company, case manager and your claim number. Please note that if you are a workers compensation patient and do not have a current claim number or letter of acceptance from your insurer we require you to pay for your consultation on the day and claim this fee back from your insurer.
- Clothing: Please wear shorts or loose pants that easily roll up to show the injured joint.
- Due to the varying nature of orthopaedic appointments we ask that you please allow up to 60 minutes for your appointments with Mr Jeffcote.
