A GP Care Plan is a detailed strategy collaboratively developed by you and your GP. This plan is specifically tailored to manage chronic medical conditions effectively, which are typically those lasting six months or longer, such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma and mental health conditions. Through our service, you can conveniently access these GP treatment plans online. Get a comprehensive and personalised roadmap to better health and wellbeing from the comfort of your home.
If you have a chronic condition requiring ongoing care, you may be eligible for a GP Care Plan. Common conditions that may qualify for a GP Care Plan include diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma and ongoing mental health issues. Your GP will evaluate how long you’ve had the condition and how it affects your daily life to decide if a structured care plan is the right approach for managing your health effectively.
Through .doctor’s bulk-billed telehealth service, you can easily discuss your health history, current concerns and goals with your GP. If eligible, your GP will work with you to create treatment plans online that may include referrals to allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists or dietitians, which are also covered by Medicare.
Our GP Care Plans are comprehensive and may include:
- Assessment and Goal Setting: Understanding your health status and setting achievable health goals.
- Customised Management Strategies: Tailoring treatment and management plans, including medication, lifestyle modifications and other therapeutic interventions.
- Coordinated Care: Collaborating with other healthcare professionals as needed to provide a team-based approach to your care.
- Regular Monitoring and Review: Ensuring your Care Plan remains effective and responsive to your changing health needs.
Although our online treatment plans offer a comprehensive approach to managing chronic conditions, they also include referrals for specialist visits and diagnostic or pathology tests to support your care. However, hospital care is not covered within these plans. If you require further assistance beyond your treatment plan online, your GP can guide you on the next steps to ensure you have access to all necessary resources for your ongoing care.
- A GP Care Plan emphasises a comprehensive approach to enhance your overall health and wellbeing. Collaborating with your GP gives you access to a structured care plan, which coordinates different aspects of your treatment.
