Yes! You can pause your Evercare membership at any time either through the app or by calling us. After pausing, your membership benefits will cease at the end of your billing period (monthly).

A re-joining fee of $20 will apply.

Once you have joined Evercare and downloaded the app, you can make an appointment straight away. If you have not had an in-person appointment with your selected doctor in the previous 12 months, we recommend making your first appointment in-clinic, which will allow us to complete your appointment with no gap fees, and ensure that you are eligible for future telehealth rebates from Medicare. We can also provide additional orientation around the Evercare app and your Evercare membership more broadly.

New patients can make their first appointment online here. Once you’re a member, you can easily book an appointment with your doctor using the Evercare App. Simply tap the “book an appointment” button located on the app home screen, and follow the prompts. You’ll have an opportunity to describe your symptoms, upload an image and depending on the reason for your appointment, you can choose to have the appointment performed via telehealth or in clinic. Doctors can determine which appointment reasons can be done via telehealth and which reasons you need to come into the clinic for. For example, you can’t get a vaccine via telehealth and would therefore only be able to select an “in-clinic” time.

Your Evercare membership allows you to see your doctor in person, or using telehealth via the Evercare app to suit your personal needs. It should be noted that patients must visit their doctor in person at least once each year to be eligible for Medicare telehealth rebates or additional costs will apply.

As an Evercare member it is helpful if you can provide your previous patient records to your Evercare GP so they can access your medical history. We’ve detailed the simple steps that you need to do to have your records transferred over. Visit our patient transfer page.

Yes it can; however, if you have not had an appointment with your chosen doctor in the last 12 months, you will not be eligible for Medicare rebates and you will have out-of-pocket costs (generally $39.75). If you want to avoid the out of pocket cost, we recommend making your first appointment in-clinic so that you can be validated for telehealth Medicare rebates in the future.

Evercare members select a preferred GP; however, our entire care team will be available to provide you with the care you need. Sometimes your doctor will be with another patient or taking a break on the day/time that you need medical care or advice. In these cases your Evercare membership allows you to choose from one of our fill in GPs and access our nurse practitioners who are here to ensure you get what you need, when you need it. Your regular GP will remain your primary care coordinator, working with the broader care team to deliver you continuity of care.

Your GP will work at varying times throughout the week; however, the broader Evercare Care Team is available from 7:30am to 7:30pm (excluding public holidays) to answer any questions you may have. So even if your doctor is in a consult or off duty, you can access care from a qualified professional who has access to your medical file, which is important for continuity of care.

Yes! Dependent children can be added to an adult member’s account in our app. Kids under 16 years can be added to a paying parent’s account for free and receive all the same benefits as an adult! This is managed through the adult’s account. If you wish to sign up your child without them being linked to a paid parent account, the monthly fee will be $22 a month (inc GST). Young Adults aged 16- 20 years pay $22 membership and can either have their own account or be part of their parent’s account. From 21 years, the standard adult rate applies.

Existing members can easily add their children to their existing account. Simply open the Evercare app, click in the top right to view your account and select “Membership”. From here you can add a dependent. If you need assistance, contact Concierge on 07 3608 1400.

If you have a child who is bulk billed, you will need to follow a slightly different process after your appointment.

After your Doctor’s appointment you will receive a notification in your Evercare app . This notification will assist you to assign your Medicare benefit back to your GP as payment for their consultation. Tap on the notification in your list as shown below. You will be prompted to assign the benefit by clicking the “I agree” button.

This process is necessary for Medicare compliance. If you do not assign your benefit to the doctor, you will be charged privately for the appointment, and you’ll receive your rebate back from Medicare. Evercare will send you a notification through the app as well as an email to ask you to assign the benefit.

Evercare only bulk bills patients under 16 (read about assigning your benefit), however all of the doctors at Evercare have agreed to provide no-gap or no-out-of-pocket consultations. This means that Evercare members (who are paying the monthly membership fee) will access unlimited no-gap appointments with their GP.

At the time of your appointment (telehealth or in clinic) your designated payment method will be charged the standard Medicare rate for your consultation. Within 24 -48 hours this amount will be refunded in full by Medicare (to the bank account you have provided them), leaving you with no-gap fees for standard consultations.

Through Evercare, your doctor will not charge you out-of-pocket costs for standard consultations. What this means is at the time of your appointment (in clinic or telehealth) your doctor will invoice you the Medicare rebate amount and your credit card will be charged. Medicare will then reimburse this cost in full (to the bank account you have provided them), generally within 24-48 hours – provided you are eligible for the service. Additional costs may apply if you require specialised care (eg. midwifery), complex in clinic procedures or extensive use of consumables (bandages etc).

During the pandemic, Medicare introduced rebates for GP appointments that were delivered via telehealth. Previously, rebates could only be accessed for in-clinic appointments. Towards the end of the pandemic, Medicare introduced some minimum criteria to ensure these funds were being used appropriately.

To qualify for Medicare telehealth rebates, a patient must have seen the doctor (that they wish to have a telehealth consult with) in person at least once within the 12 months prior. Then the patient must continue to meet this obligation by seeing that GP at least once every 12 months. If you haven’t met your doctor at Evercare in person yet, make an appointment to pop into the clinic and you’ll then be able to access telehealth rebates moving forward.

If you prefer an immediate telehealth appointment and you are a new member who isn’t telehealth eligible with Medicare, you can select to see a doctor via telehealth immediately and choose to pay the gap fee yourself. This is charged as the Medicare rebatable fee – for example,  for a standard consultation, it would cost $41 (in addition to your monthly Evercare fee).

Provided you have a valid Medicare card and see your chosen doctor in person at least once a year, there should be no out of pocket costs for regular appointments other than your monthly fee. Your monthly membership includes access to your GP and care team, the services in the Evercare app and treatment from a GP, Nurse Practitioner or nurse provided in an Evercare clinic.

At the time of your appointment (telehealth or in clinic) your designated payment method will be charged the standard Medicare rate for your consultation. Within 24 -48 hours this amount will be refunded in full by Medicare (to the bank account you have provided them), leaving you with no-gap fees for consultations.

Additional costs may apply if you require specialised care, complex in-clinic procedures or extensive use of medical consumables. Examples of these services include iron infusions, compounding scripts, medicinal cannabis prescriptions and consultations, private vaccinations and Mirena removals. Treatment room fees will vary depending on the procedure and/or dressing size. We will always discuss any out-of-pocket costs with you first. If you require additional medical care from other providers outside of Evercare such as xrays, scans or specialist appointments, you will be charged separately from those providers.

Evercare uses state of the art encryption technology to ensure that patient’s information is kept safe.  We comply with Australian laws relating to the storage and use of medical data and ensure that any records kept are stored on secure servers based in Australia, with multiple layers of protection to guard against unauthorised access.
