Online Referral Letter From $39

With Hola, we have made it easy to request referral letters for

• Blood test or pathology 

• Radiology or X-ray imaging 

• Specialist referrals for your condition 
• More specialist referral letters like Gynaecologist,  Audiologist, Ophthalmologist, ENT, Paediatrician, endocrinologist, skin specialist, urologist or gastro specialist. 

Hola online referrals (specialist or health checks) often include the following information:

• The referring doctor’s information, including name, contact details, provider number and signature.
• The date of the referral. 
• The clinical details or any relevant or timely medical information.

Sometimes the referral is general in nature, which means it doesn’t include the name of a specific specialist. You can always ask your online Doctor for a recommendation.

You will receive an SMS from Hola stating that your test results are available with a link to book a follow-up consult at a discounted rate of just $29 (35% off). Additionally, you can contact us at support@hola.health if you’d like your results forwarded to your GP.

Yes. You can share your preferred specialist’s details with our GP during your consultation. If the doctor approves your request for a referral to the specialist you choose, the letter will be sent to your email within a few minutes.

If you don’t have a specific specialist in mind, that’s fine too. Your telehealth doctor can refer you to an appropriate specialist in your area.

According to Services Australia, the referral typically remains valid for 12 months from the date the specialist first sees the patient, unless specified otherwise.

Once the specialist letter is issued by our GP, you will get the online referral on your phone. The patient needs to give the referral to the specialist themselves. Hola does not share it directly with the specialists.

In general, no, we are a national service, and Doctors cannot provide recommendations on specialists who might be on the other side of the country. Patient needs to choose their own specialist.

Unfortunately, no. This is ultimately up to the pathology lab and their bulk-billing criteria. It is recommended to call the pathology clinic in advance to know your bulk billing options.

The doctor will assess you independently for the tests you want. If they are clinically indicated, we can help you with a referral, but if they are not clinically indicated, we cannot issue tests solely upon the request of a naturopath or nutritionist.

In Australia, you can see a specialist without a GP referral, but you’ll need a referral to claim a Medicare rebate. A GP referral ensures coordinated care by sharing your medical history and test results with the specialist. It also confirms that the visit is medically necessary for Medicare purposes. Without it, you’ll need to pay the full consultation cost.
