What you need to know if you have a specialist clinics (outpatient) appointment with our cardiology service at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Telehealth or in-person

We offer both face-to-face and telehealth options for appointments. Note that some of our clinics are telehealth-only.

In some cases, face-to-face appointments are preferred. Your specialist will discuss this with you.

Medicare billing requirements

Most of our clinics are funded under the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) and require an updated yearly GP referral for compliance and billing purposes.

You may be asked to update your referral before your appointment.

You will also be asked to consent to being treated as a Medicare-billed patient at the time of check-in.

Medicare billing of services only impacts the funding of the clinic and does not affect the treatment you will receive through our outpatient service.

See Public patients with a Medicare card for more information.

What to bring

  • Medications or medication list
  • Any other documents or information that may be relevant to your appointment

Your doctor

We are a teaching hospital, so you may be seen by a junior doctor (resident/registrar) during your appointment.

Junior staff are always supervised by a senior cardiologist.
