Chronic Disease Management

A “chronic medical condition” is one that has been, or is likely to be present for at least six months, including but not limited to Osteoarthritis, Diabetes, COPD, Cardiovascular Disease and Asthma.  Chronic diseases are complex and if managed appropriately complications may be reduced and the burden on the patient and their families can improve.   The Doctor will use clinical judgement to ascertain if a patient is eligible for Medicare chronic disease management services by taking into account the medical condition of the patient in conjuction with the guidelines set out in the Medicare Benefit Schedule guidelines. A chronic disease management (CDM) plan enables our Doctors to plan and co-ordinate the health care of patients with a chronic or terminal medical conditions.  Some patients also require a multi-disciplinary, team based care plan from their Doctor and two other health care providers which may also include our practice nurses.  Patients meeting this criteria are eligible for Medicare rebates to access subsidised visits in a calendar year from some allied health professionals on referral from their GP  Ask your Doctor or one of our Practice Nurses about how better to manage your chronic conditions.

Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world.  The good news – it can be prevented.  Early detection aids in treatment.  Annual skin checks are recommended.   Our Doctors are able to perform skin checks to assess the health of your skin and review any spots or moles.  Excisions are usually booked for another day when convenient to both the patient and Doctor and to ensure our nursing staff can provide additional assistance and care to our patients.
