Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Accessing health services during coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions
section_headers: Remotely (telehealth)
section_content: Any Australian with a Medicare card can now access telehealth services via
phone or videoconference.
This service helps protect both patients and health workers from unnecessary
risk of infection. It is available from doctors, nurses, midwives, or allied
and mental health professionals.
This is a temporary measure until 30 September 2020.
You don’t need any special equipment, and can either use your phone or a
computer. You and your provider will decide the best system to use for your
needs.
Providers will bulk-bill consultations for:

Commonwealth concession card holders
children under 16 years
patients who are vulnerable to COVID-19

For telehealth, vulnerable patients are those who are:

isolating at home on the advice of a medical practitioner or a COVID-19 hotline
aged over 70
an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged over 50
immunocompromised or have a chronic health condition
a parent of a new baby
pregnant
meets the current national triage protocol criteria for suspected COVID-19 infection

Otherwise, you can pay by credit card at the time of your consultation.
To make a telehealth appointment, just call your health care provider. Your
provider might also offer any of your existing appointments as a telehealth
appointment.
If you need to make an appointment on behalf of someone else, get information
about their condition before calling. This will ensure you can provide
important details to your provider.
Read more about telehealth services in the consumer fact sheet at MBS
online.
During your telehealth consultation your doctor might need to give you a
prescription. Read more about how you can get medicines, including delivery to your home.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Providing health care remotely during COVID-19
section_headers: Who can provide telehealth services
Telehealth bulk billing for GPs
section_content: From 6 April 2020, it is a legislative requirement that the new telehealth
service must be bulk billed by GPs and other medical practitioners (OMP –
practitioners not vocationally recognised as GPs, providing non-referred
services). This is only for:

Commonwealth concession card holders
children under 16 years old
people who are more vulnerable to COVID-19

A person who is more vulnerable to COVID-19 is someone who:

is required to isolate or quarantine according to Australian Health Protection Principal Committee guidance
is at least 70 years old
identifies as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent and is at least 50 years old
is pregnant
is the parent of a child aged under 12 months
is being treated for a chronic health condition
is of any age and has suppressed immunity
meets the national triage protocol criteria for suspected COVID-19 infection

Health care providers may apply their usual billing practices to the
telehealth items for patients who do not fit the above criteria.
