Referral Information
A referral from a medical practitioner ensures that you are able to claim a higher Medicare rebate for each of your consultations with a specialist Sports Physician. You are able to make an appointment with a referral from an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist or podiatrist, or without a referral, however you will receive a lower Medicare rebate for these consults.
You require a new referral for each new issue, or every 12 months from a GP, or 3 months from another Specialist.

What to Bring
Please bring your referral, and any x-rays, scans or medical tests which may be relevant to your injury or condition. If you are unable to find the scans, please bring relevant reports so that we are able to attempt to access them electronically.

What to wear
To allow a thorough assessment and maintain modesty, you should wear comfortable clothing, or a change of clothing, that will allow our practitioners to view and assess your injured body regions. This is especially important for injuries of the hip, knee, back and shoulder. For compartment pressure testing, you will need to bring clothing and footwear that is suitable for exercise.

Parking and transport
At the Duncraig rooms, there is plentiful free parking surrounding the building, on the street, and in the shopping centres nearby. There is also public transport available. Please find information at the Transperth website.

Payment
Payment on the day is required for all visits. We have EFTPOS claiming for your convenience and we also accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Consultations may attract a Medicare rebate, which is claimable by the patient. If your bank details are registered with Medicare we can submit the claim electronically on your behalf. You should always bring your Medicare card to your appointments. Please be aware that visits to a Sport and Exercise Physician are not claimable on your private health care fund.
Workcover and MVIT patients are seen, however you will need to bring your referral, claim number, date of accident, employer's full contact details and insurance company details to your appointment. Please be aware that all accounts are the responsibility of the patient when a claim is denied.
Some services do not attract a Medicare rebate, regardless of referral status (e.g. screening medicals for sports, reports for Defence Force Recruiting, viscosupplementation, autologous blood or PRP injections).
