Your medical practitioner or a specialist can refer you to our clinic. Referrals from a specialist are valid for three months, while referrals from a general practitioner (GP) are valid for 12 months.
Contact us on +61 (2) 9812 3720 to make an appointment with our clinic, or to discuss your health concerns. See additional contact information here.
Please note: There is no emergency department at Macquarie University Hospital. Direct admission to MUH for acute patients is by arrangement with the MQ Health on-call neurologist. Contact +61 (2) 9812 3720 or Macquarie University Hospital switchboard on +61 (2) 9812 3000.
MQ Health Neurology will confirm your appointment ahead of time, including the associated costs. You will receive a call or text message as a reminder a few days before the appointment.
We recommend you allow an hour. This will give you time to discuss your medical history, condition and any tests you may need.
Check this with your neurologist before your appointment. In some cases you may need to arrange for a friend, family member or taxi to pick you up.
We suggest you bring the following items to all appointments:
You will need to complete a patient information form, if you haven't already. Our staff will then register you as a patient.
You will spend approximately one hour with your specialist who will discuss your medical history in detail and decide what further action to take if necessary.
Please note that Professor Rowe requires a referral with full details before an appointment can be made. We will then call to make an appointment or he may suggest you see another specialist in the practice.
Before you leave, our reception staff will create an account for your consultation and any testing performed. Upon payment, we can electronically lodge your account claim with Medicare. You can also make any follow-up appointments at reception before you leave.
Our fees vary depending on the appointment type. We will advise you of the costs when we confirm your appointment.
Medicare offers rebates for your appointment fees and diagnostic tests with a valid referral. In most cases, however, there will be a gap between Medicare rebates and our fees.
We can lodge your rebate with Medicare on your behalf when you pay for your appointment. Medicare will then credit your nominated bank account.
Most private policies only cover you when you are admitted to hospital and don’t cover specialist consultations.
For more information, speak to your health fund directly about what’s covered in your policy.
MQ Health Neurology is not a bulk billing practice, so you will need to pay at the time of your consultation.
Don’t forget to bring your pensioner, health care or DVA cards to ensure we bill you at the correct rate.
If you are a DVA patient with a gold card, we can lodge your account directly to DVA with no out-of-pocket expense for you. Remember to bring your gold card to each appointment.
We can also arrange transport to and from the appointment.
We welcome positive and constructive feedback in order to continuously improve our service. You can leave a message in the feedback box in the reception area, complete our survey or email us at feedback@mqhealth.org.au
