About Telehealth

Is Telehealth as effective as face-to-face consultations?

Research has shown that Telehealth can be just as good as in person consultations.Telehealth reduces the time and cost associated with travelling that you would normally need for a face-to-face consult.

Being accessible in the privacy and comfort of your own home or when you’re on the go, means that it’s also easier to manage your ongoing care with more frequent checkins.

Telehealth isn’t for every situation – for any emergencies it is still recommended to call 000 or visit your nearest emergency room.

Electronic Prescriptions

How do Electronic Prescriptions work?

There have been some new updates to how your prescriptions are processed to ensure transmission of your prescriptions are now faster and more secure.
Your electronic prescription is attached to your IHI (Individual Healthcare Identifier). You will already have an IHI if you have a Medicare Card. By providing your Medicare Card details to Concierge Doctors, we will be able to locate your IHI instantly.


To simplify things:

  1. An electronic prescription is generated by one of our doctors using your IHI and instantly uploaded to the eRx Script Exhange.
  2. Pickup or Delivered Prescriptions-For a Pickup Prescription, you will be provided a token either via email or SMS to take into the pharmacy of your choice.-For Delivered Prescriptions, we will send your token to our preferred pharmacy to organise delivery.
  3. The pharmacy will enter this encrypted token into their dispensing software to obtain your prescription for dispensing.

Are Electronic Prescriptions more secure?

Only Concierge Doctors and the pharmacist can see your information. Nobody else, including the government, or any other third party can see your information. All patient and script information is locked with three levels of encryption before it leaves the doctor’s computer and can only be opened when it arrives at the pharmacy using an authorised Prescription Dispensing System.
