Referrals
Please provide an up-to-date referral from your general practitioner or specialist. This is a Medicare requirement for claiming your rebate.
What to Expect
Prior to your appointment you will be asked to fill out several questionnaires. We are establishing a modern paperless practice via Clinic to Cloud. In the future all pre-appointment information will be gathered through your Clinic to Cloud Patient Portal.
At your first appointment your specialist will expand on the information from your questionnaires, asking in-depth questions about your pain condition, as well finding out about any other medical conditions you have. Please bring along a current list of your medications, including dosages to each appointment. In addition, if you have scan reports that are relevant to your condition, please bring them to your consultation and they can then be added to your health record.
Collaboration
As part of your pain management, your pain specialist may suggest involving other healthcare providers in order to improve the efficacy of your treatment. These may include physiotherapists, hand therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. By working closely with other members of the multi-disciplinary team, your pain specialist can best tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs.
Northern Beaches Pain Management uses Clinic to Cloud in order to make your interactions with the clinic easier and more accessible.
Clinic to Cloud is an online platform designed to improve your patient experience by streamlining administrative processes, taking you from referral to receipt, and moving towards a truly modern paperless practice.
The portal can be accessed anywhere, any time, on any device. This helps you to take control of your healthcare journey, connecting with your practice in ways never seen before.
Once your referral has been processed you will receive your Clinic to Cloud invitation. You can then access your Patient Portal below.
In the coming months we will be developing this facility so that you can:
- view your appointments
- upload referrals and documents
- fill in forms and health questionnaires
- access your health record
- view invoices and receipts
- pay for consults
