Pharmacy Daily | Guild Update – 19 July 16 : New reduced rate for in-pharmacy telemedicine service

COMMUNITY pharmacies have the opportunity to offer patients a telemedicine consultation with a GP at a reduced rate of $27 until the end of July. The consultation is through ReadyCare, Telstra Health’s purpose-built telemedicine service where consumers can consult with an Australian based and registered GP by phone or video 24/7 through the convenience and accessibility of their local pharmacy. ReadyCare, under the CP2GP initiative, is designed to be accessed at times and in areas where access to local GP services may be limited or even unavailable. The service also speeds access to care when the waiting times for GP services are excessive and may compromise optimal patient care. Until the end of July patients can access ReadyCare through their local participating pharmacy for $27, reduced from the usual $65 with the pharmacy still receiving the $15 facilitation access fee. For more information email ehealth@guild.org.au.
