How we work
Evidence based, excellence in care for your patients who either have, or suspect that they may have, ADHD. Core business is provision of timely 291¹ management plans (Telehealth item 92435) enabling you to provide ongoing treatment including stimulant prescription when indicated.
If you or your patient prefer we can prescribe stimulants – keeping you informed of all medication changes. GP-Specialist stimulant prescribing arrangements vary by State and Territory².
Our Promise
Our promise is that you and your patient receive the 291 report on the day of your patient’s consultation (full diagnostic assessment, management plan, delegation to prescribe stimulants if indicated).
A supplementary assessment can be requested any time during the 12-month period following the initial assessment (293³ review of management plan (Telehealth item number 92436)). Medicare allows an annual 291 assessment. Frequency of psychiatrist review for ongoing delegation to prescribe stimulants varies by state.
