You will also need to provide your current Medicare and Private fund details.
If your consultation is covered by Worker’s Compensation you will need to provide the following relevant claim details:

Open Access Appointment
An open access appointment means that you can be referred for direct admission to the hospital and you do not require a prior consultation.
This can happen when your GP is requesting that you have a Colonoscopy and/or Gastroscopy.
A Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your surgeon to examine your colon.
A Gastroscopy is a procedure that allows your surgeon to examine your upper gastrointestinal tract.
Upon receiving your referral our rooms will contact you to find out the available dates for the procedure. Then you need to complete the E Admission form for the Private hospital under Dr Ruwan Perera’s name.

Prepare for the Clinic Visit
Please bring the results of relevant investigations to your consultation with Dr Perera as it will help determine the management plan and reduce the number of clinics visits you need to attend before booking the procedure.
Preparation for Surgery
If you are having surgery or a day procedure it is important to check with your General Practitioner regarding any medications you are taking. With the advice of your doctor, you may need to stop taking blood thinning medications, to minimise bleeding prior to your surgery, also
You will need to have someone available to take you home, as you will not be able to drive for at least 24 hours after having an anaesthetic.
If you smoke, you should stop or cut down to reduce your surgery risks and improve your recovery
Eat a well balanced diet
Report any skin infections, cuts or sores prior to surgery
