Information about your medical and family history is needed to provide accurate medical diagnoses and appropriate treatment. Medical care requires that each member of your medical team has full knowledge of your health information. To ensure the quality and continuity of your health care, your health information may be communicated to or requested from other health care providers from time to time.
For billing and medical rebate purposes, some information is provided to account administrators including Medicare, private health funds, the hospital, the anaesthetist, and assistant surgeon.
This practice will endeavour to protect your privacy in compliance with the privacy legislation.
