Rheumatology is the specialty in medicine which deals with arthritis, bone, joint and muscle conditions, and various disorders of the immune system.
Your doctor has decided that a specialist opinion and/or treatment of your condition is warranted, and has referred you to Dr Markov. After your consultation, a detailed letter including an evaluation of your problems and treatment plan will be forwarded to your GP for guidance. Please let us know if you would like copies sent to your other treating doctors as well.
At your first visit, please remember to bring your referral letter, x-rays and any test results you have (even if they are not recent), and all your medication including tablets, creams, eye drops, injections etc. – please bring the original medicine containers rather than a list.
If your condition is a WorkSafe or TAC matter, you must bring all correspondence/certificates in addition to your claim number. We will direct bill those agencies only if your claim has been fully accepted and is current.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read More” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ff2a7f” outline_custom_hover_background=”#ff2a7f” outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” shape=”square” align=”left” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drgmarkov.com.au%2Fadditional-information%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1711099535913{background-color: #202020 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1573477074867{background-image: url(http://gmarkov.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Slider-image5.jpg?id=1438) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”402px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_custom_heading text=”More Information” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1573477617515{margin-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text el_class=”services-content”]
The practice does not bulk bill.
Pensioners and health care card holders will be charged a reduced fee for both the consultation and any joint injections required.
Veterans’ Affairs pensioners, WorkSafe and TAC patients with accepted current claims will have their accounts forwarded to those agencies directly.
A valid referral is required for entitlement to Medicare rebates.
[vc_column_text el_class=”service-info”]Unfortunately, in the 2009 Budget, the government decided to completely remove the Medicare rebate for joint injection/aspiration. Joint injections are no longer covered by Medicare, DVA, private health funds, TAC or Workers Compensation and the cost is now the personal responsibility of the patient.[/vc_column_text]
