After Hours Doctor Service in Dog Rocks, NSW 2795

Everything You Need To Know About After Hours Doctor Services In Dog Rocks

There is no rest for sickness and your healthcare shouldn't stop either. Residents of Dog Rocks, NSW 2795, no longer have to avoid seeking treatment or travel long distances when feeling unwell during the night, on weekends, or on public holidays. With 13CURE, your health remains a priority around the clock.

What is 13CURE?

13CURE is a home doctor service that brings a registered GP to your home after hours, offering:

  1.   Urgent care
  2.   Routine consultations
  3.   Pediatric services

No need to step out of the house; just a phone call away!

Easily Available and Budget-Friendly Medical Care After Hours

For highly urgent medical needs, waiting with no after-hours doctor nearby meant driving to the next major town or enduring long waits at emergency departments. Now, 13CURE has made this impossible. Our service is designed around in-home care that is easily accessible and affordable.

Insurance and Payment Options

  1.   We accept bulk Medicare and most private health insurance plans.
  2.   Bulk billing is available for eligible patients, making after-hours healthcare even more affordable.
  3.   For the vast majority of patients, especially those on Medicare, there are no upfront payments.

Comfort of Home

A Complete Range of Services Provided in Dog Rocks

In addition to adults, 13CURE also provides a range of medical services for children tailored for after-hours needs.

  1.   Fever

  1.   Asthma attacks
  2.   Severe vomiting
  3.   Severe headaches
  4.   Urinary tract infections
  5.   Allergic reactions

Don't wait at the hospital; get fast attention in your home where you can relax.

After Hours Care for Children and Young People

We know how urgent and sensitive caring for children and young people falling sick outside routine hours is. Our paediatric specialists will manage your child's condition with care and expertise, ensuring that parents from Dog Rocks can relax.

Telehealth Consultations

For those patients who do not require a physical assessment, our telehealth service provides a simple and fast way to receive medical advice, prescriptions, or follow-up care. These consultations are most useful for:

  1.   Repeat prescriptions
  2.   General health advice
  3.   Mental health care
  4.   Guidance

Bulk Billing for Eligible Patients

Patients who hold a valid Medicare card or qualifying private health insurance are eligible to visit our facilities and be bulk billed. Before the consultation, you will be informed of any charges that do not fall under bulk billing; there will never be any unexpected costs.

The Quality Behind the Service Who Are Our Doctors?

Telehealth and in-home visitation practitioners are not temporary fill-in or junior doctors they are trained professionals with years of experience in diagnosing and managing a myriad of conditions, including the complexities presented by home environments. With further specialised training designed for home visits and telehealth delivery, they are ready to respond nonchalantly to urgent care situations.

What Are the Service Limitations?

Certain limitations cap in-home consultations despite our physicians being skilled and having tools for diagnostics on an in-home visit:

  1.   No imaging or higher-level diagnostics (X-rays, laboratory analysis, and ECGs) were done on-site.
  2.   No infusions at home or surgical sutures of wounds beyond trivial lacerations.
  3.   For life-threatening complications like chest pain, stroke suspicion, and major injuries, call Triple Zero (000) or go to a nearby emergency department.

That being said, 13CURE would be perfect for those patients who need immediate attention but do not fall under the category of an emergency, as they still need a medical professional and are not able to go to the hospital for hours on end.

How much time should I expect before a doctor arrives?

In Dog Rocks, we maintain a 2-3 hour average delay from the booking time, provided the situation is urgent enough for our doctors to visit. These wait times can shift depending on:

  1.   Timeframe of the day
  2.   Region traffic or weather
  3.   Urgency of the condition

During peak demand periods such as the weekend and flu season, wait times are longer than normal and vary widely.

We practice triage so patients are dealt with according to the severity of their symptoms. In some situations, a telehealth consult will be the primary treatment step or severity assessment prior to the doctor's despatch from the office.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1.   Will I receive the same level of care as a regular clinic visit?

Certainly. The mobile care doctors have to follow strict diagnostic protocols. They must deliver appropriate care in mobile settings. Medical kits with basic tools and a supply of necessary medications are always with them. Furthermore, the consultation records can be forwarded to your regular GP for incorporation into your treatment file.

  1.   Is bulk billing available for all visits?

Yes, but only for certain patients who have Medicare or approved private health insurance. Additionally, capitation or bulk billing may not apply if you live in very remote areas or if you need some additional services that Medicare does not cover. We let you know so that nobody is caught off guard.

  1.   Could relying on this service delay treatment in emergencies?

Certainly not. We are still not a substitute for emergency services provided by hospitals or ambulances. Our staff works within the basic level of emergency care. They will screen for red flag conditions and, in most cases, will send you to a hospital or tell you to call Triple Zero if something urgent needs to be done immediately. Our services help with the gap between routine care and real emergencies.
