Metacare Australia; the new way GP's send referrals.
Metacare Australia might not be a name you are familiar with, but you are about to be hearing a lot about them.
A new way for GP's to send referrals is picking up momentum at a rapid rate. It's not surprising though. The Allied Health referral space has been time-consuming and messy for GP's forever. It's just the way it's always been done. Find the local practitioner, hope they are worth your patients' effort to attend, hope they are suitable for your patients' conditions, try to keep up with when companies change over, staff move on, whether or not they are still bulk billing, chase them for that letter or referral acceptance. It's seriously wild that someone hasn't come along to fix this system for the GP Practice and the patient long ago.
Enter, Metacare Australia. They have exploded onto the scene and are a blessing to general practice. No longer do any of the issues mentioned above, exist. It's so simple. One central, national hub for you to send your Allied Health referrals to. They source the top-rated (by patients) Allied health practitioners in your area for you, manage the referral pathway, collect feedback from patients and ensure your referral gets where it needs to go and your patients are given the best level of care.
You only need 1 name in your referral directory, Metacare Australia.
Covering all Allied Health services, Metacare Australia are giving time back to GP's and Practice Nurses, so they can concentrate on what they do best. Chronic disease has taken a real hit in this COVID climate, we know that more and more Australians will need Allied Health services to manage chronic disease over the next 12 months. As the world re-opens and the effects of social distance and isolation are revealed for the chronic illness' already handcuffing this country, Metacare is removing one giant barrier to those Aussies accessing the care they need, now more than ever.
