Two FAQ sets — one for what to know around a consultation, one for what to expect around a surgery. Pick the area that fits where you are.
Most patients arriving at the practice want the same handful of facts up front: whether they need a referral, whether Medicare rebates apply, what a consultation will cost, whether telehealth is an option, and — if surgery is on the table — what a written quote covers. The two FAQ sets below answer those questions and a couple of dozen more, split by where you are in the pathway.
If you're booking a first appointment, the Consultation FAQs cover referral validity (12 months for GP referrals, 3 months for specialist), parking and how to find the rooms at Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton, what to bring on the day, and how telehealth works. If surgery has been recommended, the Surgery FAQs cover the written-quote process (gap arrangements, no-gap fund participation, what an out-of-pocket figure includes), what happens on the day, going home, hand therapy referral, and post-operative follow-up.
If your question isn't answered there, the practice is reachable on 07 4863 6556 during consult hours or by email at office@cqupperlimb.com.au.
