To help you get ready for your first appointment with me, we have put together this checklist. We are here to help and make things as easy as possible for you. If you need any assistance in getting these things done, please call the Rooms and our Team will work with you.
A link to this form was supplied in the original email you received from the practice. You only need to fill out this form once and those that are already patients of the practice do need to fill it out. If you have any questions regarding this form or whether you have completed it (you will have received a confirmation email if you have), then you can contact us on adminsupport@drjustintucker.com
A referral from your GP allows us to claim and refund to you, your medicare rebate for each visit. Whilst this referral is preferably supplied by your regular GP, it can be from any GP including one that is bulk billing and/or consults via Telehealth. It must be dated prior to your first appointment with us.
It is important that you have had a dating scan before your first appointment with us. It is usually arranged by your GP and only needs to be done once. If you would prefer, we can provide you with a request form to have your dating scan done. Just reach out to us on pregnancysupport@drjustintucker.com
There is no need to book or fast to have these tests done. To make it easier for you, we have provided a list of locations and their opening times. When you arrive at the DHM collection centre of your choice, they can provide you with a specific email address where you can forward the pathology form, meaning you will not have to print it. All of the tests on the form are bulk billed so if you are covered by Medicare, there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you.
The links to these hospitals can be found here. There is no rush to book into a hospital and I would be more than happy to discuss both options and help match you to one, during our first consultation. If you are ready to book, you can use your due date as the date of admission, even though you may have your baby before or after this. I can be listed as both your admitting and referring doctor.
