AvonLovesBlake<p>Recently Medicare rules changed so that you cannot claim ANY rebate from Medicare for a telephone consultation with your General Practitioner unless you have seen them IN PERSON in the past 12 months.

There is a petition to change the rules back here: <br><a href="https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN4872" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petitio</span><span class="invisible">n/EN4872</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Telehealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Telehealth</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/GP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GP</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/GeneralPractitioner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeneralPractitioner</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disabled</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChronicallyIll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicallyIll</span></a></p>
