Referrals
A referral is essential for an initial appointment. A mental health care plan is also essential if you plan to see a psychologist and wish to receive the Medicare rebate.
Your GP or other referrer should send the referral to us directly.
No appointments will be made until the referral is received and processed by the relevant clinician.
For GPs
We are dedicated to providing diagnostic and management advice to GPs. We will endeavour to deliver timely reports to General Practitioners.
General Practitioners will be kept informed of any important changes to medications or other therapies. The General Practitioner will remain the primary prescriber with patients managed under Primary care Psychiatric Management Plans (Medicare 291/293 arrangements).
GPs, please fax referrals to (03) 8677 2946 or
email to consulting@medservmedical.com.au and include:
- Presenting Problem
