How much does a medical certificate cost with Qoctor?

Medical certificate consultations with Qoctor start from $14.99, with fees varying up to $34.99 based on the certificate type selected, which you can learn more about HERE. This is a one-off payment with no hidden extras. 

 

At this point in time, Qoctor is a fully private online GP service, which means that we can not offer a Medicare rebate for your telehealth appointments.

 

The reason we cannot offer a Medicare rebate relates to government regulations around telehealth. Medicare generally requires that you've attended the practice in person within the last 12 months before a telehealth consult can be rebated (bulk-billed). Some online services advertise that they bulk-bill by relying on exemptions to this rule, for example for patients in declared disaster areas or very remote locations. In practice, most Australians don't fall into these exemption categories, so most people can't access bulk-billed telehealth from a provider they've never seen in person.

 

This is why we offer some of the most competitively priced services available.

 

We recommend providing your Medicare details, particularly if your consultation may result in a prescription or pathology referral. This enables us to issue your ePrescription directly to your mobile phone and may reduce your out-of-pocket costs when filling a Qoctor prescription at the pharmacy for PBS-listed medications. Providing your Medicare details may also help reduce the cost of eligible pathology tests.
