There are alternative ways of obtaining prescriptions these days. The pandemic that swept around the world forced so many to reevaluate how they provide goods and services to the people that need them. The medical profession was no exception, but not everyone is aware that they are able to get a prescription online or an online medical certificate. At Prime Medic we understand that your time is precious and that you want to look after your health too. Read on to understand how our service works and how it can help you to get the medical services you need.
What is the process?
There are six simple steps to our model. Firstly select your medication, if you know the name, or alternatively search by the category or type of product you are looking for, such as cold sores or contraception. You will then need to set up an account with us so that we have a record of your personal details and a brief medical history. This enables us to offer our full range of services to you. You will then select the pharmacy most convenient to you to collect your prescription from.
After completing those easy steps, book your consultation with one of our fully registered GP's at a time and day that works for you. The doctor will ring you via audio or video call at the agreed appointment time, so ensure you are available and have a stable Internet connection if it's a video call. The doctor will ask some questions to understand your request and, if they are satisfied, will fax and post your prescription to the pharmacy you have preselected. You will then be able to travel to the pharmacy at a time that suits you to collect your medication, which will have been selected and made ready for you to collect.
Shortcuts that serve you
This services allows you to beat the queues. Say goodbye to long waiting times in a doctor's surgery, then standing inline again at the pharmacy waiting to be served and for the pharmacist to fill the script. The Prime Medic services short cuts all these steps and converts them to an online system, where the doctor contacts you at a time you have requested. They then send your prescription to the pharmacy for you to simply pick up when it suits you.

The cost per prescription is $19.99. Requirements to be aware of include your location. Our licensing means that we can only serve patients that are within Australian borders at the time of the tele-health consultation. We cannot help clients that are outside of the country at the time of the call, even if they are Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents. We can however, help all people within the country, regardless of what visa they hold. This means that anyone within Australia can take advantage of our services and it does not matter if they are on a tourist visa, work visa or an Australian National. We are proud to be able to offer our assistance to everyone in an Australian State or Territory at the time of the consultation.
