Simply hand your patient a referral addressed to one of our dermatologists at Dermo Direct. That’s it! The patient then uploads the referral during their online booking process.
Fax the referral on 08 8432 1682, or alternatively you can email us on refer@dermodirect.com.au
Patient goes onto our website and selects their dermatologist, appointment time and books the appointment online.
Traditionally, teledermatology services were “store-and-forward” services, where you have to send photos of your patient and await a response.
The amount of information provided would be limited, and dermatologists couldn’t ask the relevant questions or discuss the condition with the patient, so there would be back-and-forth discussions between GP and specialist. Dermo Direct is an easy way for GPs to get specialist support for their patients.
The appointment takes place in real-time between dermatologist and patient, with the patient at home or a location of their choice.
We’ve performed consultations with patients at a remote work site, at home, in a caravan park, in an office, even in a parked car, using a mobile phone or tablet.
If your patient would like you to be present at the consultation, they can book the appointment for a time that suits you both and the video appointment can take place in your practice, or they can share their email video link with you.
If your patient is returning for a review appointment and is unsure whether their referral is still current, they can request a referral status check online.
Our team will review the referral information recorded in their patient file and contact them directly by email.
Your patient will be left out-of-pocket by $200 for a standard consultation and $180 for a review consultation after Medicare rebates. Please see the pricing page for more information.
Medicare rebates are available for all patients that are referred by a GP.
Give them a referral to one of our dermatologists, and direct them to www.dermodirect.com.au to make their booking.
Dermo Direct website is powered by the Diagnode booking platform.
