Can I claim a Medicare rebate?

Eligible patients with a valid GP referral may claim a Medicare rebate for specialist teledermatology consultations.

To be eligible:

  • Have a valid GP referral
  • Hold a valid Medicare card
  • Meet Medicare eligibility requirements

The Medicare rebate is paid by Medicare, and any out-of-pocket cost will depend on your consultation fee and rebate entitlement.

* For Initial Phone consults- unfortunately the government no longer supports a Medicare rebate for this, review phone consults still qualify for Medicare rebate, as do initial and review video consults. This is stated when you select the appointment type at the time of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you make an appointment online, the full deposit will be charged to your credit card upfront. If you cancel prior to the virtual consultation, a cancellation fee of $50 will be charged and the remainder will be refunded to your credit card. A FULL fee will apply for a non-attended appointment.

Medicare rebates are valid for ALL patients with an active GP referral. Go to book an appointment and select an appointment type, and then all you have to do is have an active GP referral (you can upload this during the booking process, or your GP has faxed/emailed your referral already) and follow the prompts. We handle all Medicare claims on behalf of you, eliminating the need for manual reimbursement processes.

If you have a GP referral, you are eligible for Medicare rebates. Over the course of your treatment (3 to 5 appointments), the total Medicare rebate you can expect to receive will range from $160 to $240, depending on the number of visits required.

This rebate helps offset the cost of your consultations, making the treatment more affordable.

By law, Australian private health insurance does not offer cover for out-of-hospital medical services. Medicare covers these services. However, overseas international insurance for non-Australians often covers it. It usually covers the same rebate as Medicare but you need to check with your insurance provider.

If you’ve seen one of the doctors in person at Dermo Direct within the last 12 months, you may qualify for the review appointment rate when booking online, rather than paying the initial appointment fee. To receive this rebate, a valid GP referral dated within the past 12 months is also required. If it has been more than 12 months since your in-clinic visit or GP referral, you will need to book an initial online appointment at the standard rate.
