Post-Acute and Ongoing Care Contact VEMSA when you need post-acute and ongoing care

VEMSA is more than a one-off treatment service. We go beyond simply managing the initial presentation – we are also here to provide specialist care and guidance throughout the duration of your health concern until it has been fully resolved. 

Receive coordinated specialist care beyond the first consultation

After your initial health concern has been managed, our VEMSA emergency medicine specialists can provide ongoing care:

• To review pathology or imaging test results that may require urgent action
• If you experience deterioration of your symptoms 
• For general follow-up to ensure you’re recovering as expected
• To facilitate admission or re-admission to hospital where necessary, including a professional clinical handover
• If you are travelling interstate and need additional medical review

VEMSA charges a one-time fee with Medicare rebate for eligible patients, which covers your initial consultation and all review consultations related to the same concern whenever necessary. Referral to a non-emergency specialist from the VEMSA independent specialist network, if required, may attract an additional fee as per the specialist’s own billing practices.
