Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions

If your question isn't answered here, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Do I need a referral to see Dr Vickers?

Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required to see Dr Vickers. This ensures continuity of care and allows Dr Vickers to review your medical history before your appointment. Medicare rebates also require a valid referral.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your GP referral letter, Medicare card, any relevant previous test results (ECGs, blood tests, imaging), a list of current medications, and your private health insurance details if applicable.

What is a stress echocardiogram?

A stress echocardiogram combines ultrasound imaging of your heart with exercise (usually on a treadmill) or medication-induced stress. This allows Dr Vickers to assess how your heart functions under increased demand and detect any areas of reduced blood flow that may indicate coronary artery disease.

Are consultations covered by Medicare?

Yes, consultations with Dr Vickers are eligible for a Medicare rebate with a valid GP referral. Some diagnostic tests may also attract a Medicare rebate. Please contact the relevant practice for specific information about fees and gap payments.
