CASE REG: #P-3101Managed

The sleep study was highly professional, and the follow-up with the physician was eye-opening. The CPAP treatment changed my life. I have my energy back after years of constant fatigue.

FAQ

Practice Guidelines & FAQ

Common clinical inquiries regarding our consultation workflows, GP referral pathways, and appointment guidelines.

Are clinic fees covered by Medicare?
Consultations with our physicians are eligible for Medicare rebates, provided you have a current GP referral. We are a private-billing practice, and our staff will explain the gap fees when coordinating your appointment.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient care?
Outpatient care involves consulting appointments and diagnostics conducted at our Walkerville clinic. Inpatient care refers to medical management provided by our physicians if you are admitted to one of our affiliated private hospitals.
How quickly are GP reports sent after a consult?
Our physicians prioritize rapid reporting. Standard clinical letters are dictated, transcribed, and sent securely to your referring GP within 48 to 72 hours of your appointment.
Can my GP refer me directly to a specific physician?
Yes. If your GP has a specific physician in mind (e.g., a sleep medicine specialist or geriatrician), they can address the referral letter directly to them, or to Physicians SA generally.
