Health Assessments
Health assessments are a Medicare initiative aimed at allowing people who may be at risk of illness or who are in a particular age bracket, to have a comprehensive health assessment completed. At Pioneer Health we are happy to perform any of these health assessments for you and usually book you to see a nurse followed by your doctor to complete the assessment and make recommendations. Best of all, health assessments are bulk billed so there is no out of pocket cost to you. Have a look at the following list and see if you qualify for a health assessment.
