Patients

In order to see Dr Heyworth, you need a referral from your doctor. A GP referral lasts 12 months from the day it is written. A specialist referral lasts 3 months.

Without a current referral at the time of your appointment, you will not be able to claim your rebate from Medicare. Private Health Insurers assist only with inpatient care.

Patients are not bulk billed at this practice. If needs be, Dr Heyworth will foward your referral to her colleagues at the Medical Outpatient Clinic at the Redland Public Hospital.

Please come to your appointment a few minutes early to fill out a patient information form.

When you come to your initial appointment please bring your,

~ Medicare card

~ Private Health Insurance card

~ Referral

~ All the medications you have (prescription and non-prescription). This is better than lists of medications which can be out of date or incomplete.

~ Your medical information especially if you have recently moved to South East Queensland.

~ A list of the Specialists you see.
