Govt expected to act on telehealth ‘free-for-all’
Unfettered access to the temporary items is fragmenting patient care say the GP groups
The Federal Government is expected to curtail the telehealth ‘free-for-all’ by changing the emergency telehealth items before they end in September.
Last week, the AMA said unfettered access to the items was resulting in corporates marketing bulk-billed telehealth care despite having no physical practice and no link to patients’ GPs.
