Our Telehealth solution ensures you only ever pay for what you use. We are currently offering a secure video and integrated telehealth solution with an optional add on available for private and mixed payment options.

Secure Video: Secure HD video hosted within Australia. Easy setup, seamless integration with your practice management software.

Waiting Room: A virtual wait room for your patient. When the practitioner is ready, simply click and the appointment will start.

New Patient form: Online new patient form, allowing patients to register their medical history prior to their first appointment.

Communicate: Email and app notifications for your patients; important practice updates and preventative health reminders to drive continuity of care.

PMS Integration: Integrated telehealth workflows into practice management systems for Medical Specialists.

COVID-19 Triage flows: Added triaging to the online booking flows to comply with COVID-19 screening and MBS item eligibility criteria.

Online MBS Claiming: Coming soon! We will give you the ability to submit claims for MBS items codes within Practice Admin, reducing the admin time for your front desk.

Patients who are pre-screened for COVID-19 in the booking form and deemed at risk will be restricted to the new phone/video appointment type and won’t be able to book an in-person appointment.

Patients who are not at risk will have the option to book either a telehealth appointment or an in-person appointment.

We recognise the importance of having a safe and secure telehealth video experience for your patients and practitioners. Our secure HD video product is easy to set up, doesn’t require additional software for you or your patients, and most importantly, it seamlessly integrates with your practice management software. Our video product is 100% private and does not require the sharing of mobile numbers or personal ID’s. To use Secure Video all you need is a PC/Mac with a webcam or a smartphone.

When a patient books they receive a confirmation email with a link to the video consultation and at the scheduled appointment time join our virtual waiting room. The appointment will show up in Practice admin and in your PMS and when you’re ready simply click start in Practice Admin and the consultation will begin. It’s that easy! See below for the booking experience from the patient and practitioners point of view

The cost of our telehealth solution is set up so you only pay for what you use, at just 58c per booking and the max you’ll pay is $65/practitioner/mth (excluding GST).

For the additional benefit of taking up-front payments for private or mixed billing appointments, it costs an additional $5 per practice/month and 3.97% service fee on the credit card amount charged.

Above fees do not include GST.
