Repeats - Prescriptions and Referrals
Repeat scripts and referrals are a very important part of your healthcare. These require an appointment with a doctor, or if appropriate can be ordered via HotDoc via the Quick Consults feature.
Repeats are more than "just prescription" or "just a referral". They require work to be done and on-going responsibility to be assumed. The doctor has to open your file, review your history and make a decision on each request before writing a script or referral. The doctor also has on-going medico-legal responsibility for each script or referral written. The practice has invested in secure IT infrastructure to create, store and communicate the results of each request. Admin staff spend time communicating with doctors and patients to ensure the repeats are fulfilled in a timely and secure manner.
HotDoc Repeats is a convenient service that offers patients the option to request repeat prescriptions for regular medications or referrals for regularly attended Specialist appointments. Please view the request page for current pricing. HotDoc Repeats is a privately billed service and there is no Medicare rebate available. If you do not wish to use HotDoc for this service for any reason, an appointment is required and normal fees apply.
