COVID antivirals available by telehealth phone consultation
16 July 2022 - Medicare will cover a long consultation by a GP for the purpose of prescribing COVID-19 antivirals, with the change coming into effect from next week.
The new temporary MBS items will cover a longer consultation by phone to ensure antivirals are safely prescribed by doctors and ensure as many people as possible can access these treatments.
