What You Need To Know About Telehealth Script Services

When you’re caught off guard by an unexpected health issue and your regular clinic is closed, an after hours telehealth script could be your lifesaver. Telehealth Australia consultations are becoming a trusted way for people to receive expert medical advice and potentially get their prescriptions dispatched promptly to their local pharmacy.

Enter 13SICK, Australia’s leading provider of after hours home visits and telehealth services for over 30 years. Leveraging innovative technology, we connect patients with licenced Doctors to provide home-based medical care when they need it most.

At 13SICK, telehealth home care streamlines the prescription process by sending a telehealth script electronically to your chosen pharmacy.

Telehealth services can provide prescriptions based on medical assessments.

Prescriptions are issued only if deemed appropriate by the consulting Doctor.

Many patients are keen on accessing after hours care in hopes of securing a telehealth script to purchase medications. However, at 13SICK, we make sure that our telehealth consultations are thorough in making sure prescriptions are only issued when necessary.

For those wondering how to access after hours telehealth services or are looking up ‘what happens during an online Doctor appointment’, the consulting Doctor conducts a detailed assessment of the patient’s medical history and current symptoms. If, during the virtual Doctor consultation, your 13SICK Doctor determines that prescription medication is necessary, we can send an eScript to your phone.

Common conditions and ongoing treatments are often eligible for telehealth scripts.

During an after hours telehealth home visit or through an online medical consultation, a telehealth script may be issued to help manage common conditions and other specific concerns.

Issues like mental health concerns, chronic pain and minor infections can frequently be addressed through a telehealth script; if deemed necessary by the 13SICK Doctor during an urgent medical consultation, a patient may get timely prescriptions without stepping foot into a clinic.

Telehealth prescription services offer convenience for many patients.

Telehealth consultations Australia-wide save time.

Accessing telehealth online brings healthcare providers to your home and saves you valuable time. Telehealth for families means carers – such as parents or relatives – no longer need to endure long drives or crowded waiting rooms. 13SICK’s services provide a significant advantage for individuals with limited mobility, packed schedules or those residing far from medical facilities.

Professional standards ensure telehealth scripts are safe and reliable.

Our 13SICK Doctors adhere to rigorous medical guidelines, including the standards set by the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Know that when you book a telehealth appointment with us, we strive to ensure patients receive a level of care comparable to what they would expect in a traditional office visit.

Telehealth providers are not only trained in digital communication but are equally diligent in discerning when a patient requires a face-to-face assessment.

13SICK makes telehealth script services simple and accessible.

Enjoy quick access to licenced Doctors after hours through 13SICK’s telehealth platform.

13SICK offers after hours telehealth consultations with licenced Australian Doctors.

This service enables patients to connect with healthcare professionals from the comfort of their homes, specifically during evenings, weekends and holidays when regular GP appointments may be unavailable. Patients might also be able to secure a telehealth script if deemed necessary by the 13SICK Doctor. You can book right here on our website or by calling us at 13 SICK (13 7425).

Telehealth scripts are sent directly to your preferred pharmacy for convenience.

Once your online telehealth appointment is done and a telehealth script is prescribed, if any, the prescribed medication can be picked up directly from your usual pharmacy.

This direct connection minimises the risk of miscommunication and errors that often accompany handwritten prescriptions. This way, medications are prepared promptly, and people can avoid unnecessary delays when picking them up.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

With 13SICK, patients could potentially receive prescriptions for common everyday ailments such as allergies and minor infections. For telehealth in particular, many of our patients may also seek medications for UTIs, minor injuries and falls and mental health concerns.

When it comes to controlled substances, particularly Schedule 8 medications and drugs of addiction, stricter regulations apply. Our 13SICK Doctors typically cannot prescribe these in a telehealth appointment. An in-person consultation is needed to ensure safety and compliance with legal requirements. 

Telehealth consultations are an option for straightforward medical issues where physical examination isn’t necessary. However, there are times when the absence of a physical exam can limit the healthcare provider’s ability to fully assess the patient’s needs. Your healthcare provider will carefully consider whether any tests or physical examinations are necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
