Health Assessments are a Medicare initiative aimed at allowing people who may be at risk of illness or who are in a particular age bracket, to have a comprehensive health assessment completed. At Plantagenet Medical we are happy to perform any of these health assessments for you and usually book you to see a nurse followed by your doctor to complete the assessment and make recommendations. Best of all, Health Assessments are bulk billed so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. Have a look at the following list and see if you qualify for a Health Assessment.
