How Getting Your Medical Certificate Online Benefits You
Unless you are an incredibly rare exception, you will most likely have experienced waking up sick and needing to notify your employer. Once you have notified them, you will then need to call your local GP (General Practitioner) to book an appointment, travel to the doctor’s clinic and then sit around in a waiting room until your name is finally called.
Doing all of this when you are sick is not exactly an enjoyable experience, which is why getting your medical certificate online with Prime Medic is a much better solution.
Speak to a doctor anytime, day or night
Waking up sick is not an enjoyable experience, especially when you have to wait until your nearest medical clinic opens before you can start trying to book an available appointment to see a GP. By using a telehealth service such as Prime Medic, however, you are no longer restricted to normal business hours.
We operate 24/7, which means you can book an appointment with our wide network of qualified and experienced team of online doctors at any time during the day or night. They can assess your condition, provide medical advice and send your medical certificate to you via email.
Chat to a doctor from anywhere in Australia
With visiting a medical clinic in person, you will have a very limited choice of available appointments if your nearest GP is fully booked or doesn’t have an appointment that is suitable for you. By using our telemedicine services instead, you can book an appointment with an expert doctor from anywhere within Australia.
This is ideal for when you are coming down with something at work and just want to go straight home and rest. You can simply book an appointment for when you get home and get your medical certificate online from the comfort of your own home.
Skip crowded waiting rooms
Sitting around in crowded medical clinic waiting rooms is not only time-consuming but a tedious experience when you are ill. Hanging around waiting rooms can also put you at the unnecessary risk of catching something else from another sick patient.
Using a telehealth service provider offers a much safer and more convenient solution. Our Prime Medic app connects you to a vast network of experienced online doctors without having to step outside your home. All you need is a laptop, desktop computer, smartphone or tablet device with a solid internet connection.
We bulk bill through Medicare
If you possess a valid Medicare Card, then you won’t need to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses when booking your appointment. You can also receive a Medicare rebate by booking an appointment with one of our doctors who is Medicare eligible. Once you have paid with your credit card, we can then lodge your Medicare claim for you.
Whether you are needing to get your medical certificate online, a specialist referral or just a general check-up, download the Prime Medic app and speak with one of our expert online doctors today!
