How is telehealth reimbursed in Australia?
Many patients and providers can benefit from various reimbursement schemes for different telehealth reimbursements.
A range of programs from the government, medicare, and private health help make telehealth more affordable and accessible because they recognise the value of telehealth to patients and providers.
