 AI reviews summary 

Prime Medic is widely regarded as a fast and efficient telehealth solution, particularly for patients requiring urgent prescriptions, medical certificates, and after-hours care. Most users report a seamless experience with rapid call-backs and professional consultations that serve as a reliable alternative when local GPs are unavailable. However, a small segment of users has raised serious concerns regarding billing transparency, inconsistent bulk-billing availability, and occasional administrative lapses.

Pros
Rapid Turnaround: Users frequently receive doctor call-backs within 15 to 60 minutes, with digital prescriptions and medical certificates delivered via SMS almost immediately after the consultation.
After-Hours Accessibility: The service is highly praised for its availability during late nights, weekends, and public holidays (including Christmas and Boxing Day) when traditional clinics are closed.
Professional Consultations: Doctors are commonly described as empathetic, thorough, and attentive, often taking more time to listen than in-person practitioners.
Convenience and Value: The platform is noted for its ease of use and competitive pricing, providing a cost-effective and "hassle-free" alternative to waiting in physical surgeries.
Cons
Billing and Invoice Issues: Recurring complaints highlight difficulties in obtaining formal tax invoices for insurance claims and confusion over "hidden" costs for prescriptions versus certificates.
Bulk-Billing Limitations: Multiple users expressed frustration over the restricted hours for bulk-billing, noting that it is often only available late at night despite being advertised more broadly.
Technical and Communication Lapses: Occasional reports mention missed appointment windows, dropped calls, and delays in receiving SMS scripts that required follow-up emails or calls.
Inconsistent Clinical Quality: While most doctors are praised, a few users reported dismissive attitudes, language barriers, or consultations that felt too brief to address complex symptoms safely.
Verdict

Prime Medic is an excellent choice for individuals needing straightforward medical documentation or routine prescription repeats with minimal delay. While it excels in speed and after-hours convenience, users requiring detailed documentation for private health insurance or those seeking daytime bulk-billing should clarify costs and administrative processes upfront.

A service i will absolutely use again. The process was easy and getting a script for antibiotics so quickly with a very caring doctor on the other line made the experience so pleasant in a seriously needed moment and that script has literally allowed myself to get antibiotics into my system so much faster than I expected allowing me to finally eat something today which I hadn't been capable of for days Show 2 replies

Disappointed in this service today. I’ve used Prime Medic previously for ongoing prescription & been mostly happy but today I have progressive UTI symptoms of several days duration & time for medical care. Trying to avoid waiting for hours at the medical Ctr I look at Prime medic who advertise appointments for $37.49/session &. Bulk billing for… Read more

eligible clients. Bulk billing info says ‘consult with an AHPRA registered doctor in u der 20-30 minutes. I call the number required for bulk billing and am told I can have a bulk billed appt after 11pm tonight (it’s around 10.30 am at this stage). Alternative is to pay $43 approx to have an appt within the hour. So basically the advertised Telehealth price is incorrect (this is for a 2 day medical certificate and not for an appt I’m told condescendingly and it’s extra for a prescription) , the wait time for bulk billed is egregiously false as I’m assured by the person I spoke to that they don’t offer bulk billed during regular hours, at all and all they can or will offer is a 12hr + wait and an appointment at a time that will have no pharmacy open for another 8 hours. Nearly 24 hour wait for an issue that can become a medical emergency by then (it’s happened to me before when swelling closed my urethra & infection rapidly ascended). I will reconsider using this service in the future and definitely would only recommend with clear qualifiers for use

Compassionate Dr Naz – We had the privilege of Dr Naz doing a late night phone consultation for my 7year old daughter who had just acquired an ear infection tonight. Dr Naz was so helpful and well spoken and clearly understood exactly what my daughter would need to help relieve her ear infection. She was very caring and we are so grateful to have such a great experience.

Scam , please do not fall for this company . Booked an appointment for 1pm and received a call at 1am in the morning demanding my Medicare details from a person I could barely understand on a line that was so clearly not in Australia . I was then… Read more

told I had made the appointment .they clearly don’t no the difference between PM and AM . But suspect it is an overseas company scamming people in Australia . I was then told my new appointment would be 2pm the following day but by 11pm that night o still hadn’t received any call . I emailed asking for a refund and they said that it would take 5/7 days and there would be deductible . Clearly scammed and will be reporting this company for fraudulent activity. Updates they promised to refund the money for a consultation that never happed and after three months , multiple emails I have now lodge a complaint with Fair trading. This is a scam website that takes your money and then never has any intention of giving it back .

 Follow-up  · No refund , scam scam and very unprofessional

The first doctor Dr. Moustafa Tahir Ali was not friendly or helpful. The second doctor I was fortunate to speak to helped me right away. Her bedside manner was wonderful and she provided the medication I needed.

 Follow-up  · This is the second time I called Prime Medic. It will definitely be the last time. The female doctor was late on the call back by an hour and a half and was very unprofessional and rude to me on the phone. She practically yelled at me when she asked: what do you expect me to do for you? She would talk over me when I tried to respond or ask… Read more

What a great service! It’s so hard to get into my local GP and this was almost immediate and I was able to get a script for the medication I needed and it’s so much cheaper. I don’t know why I didn’t use this service sooner. Show reply

Excellent service from Prime Medic. I was genuinely impressed by how quickly everything happened, especially considering it was around 1am. From the time I called to book a doctor to actually being seen, the turnaround was incredibly fast - 15 minutes on this occasion but always within 1 hour. After speaking with the doctor, I received my… Read more ·  1

prescription within an hour, which means I can get it dispensed first thing in the morning without delay.

Best of all, the entire process was bulk billed so it cost me nothing out of pocket. Efficient, professional, and extremely convenient. Highly recommend Prime Medic for anyone needing prompt after-hours medical care.

Dr listened, asked questions and called back to give some extra details. Sent through script and referral. The office called to make sure that the script and referral was received instead of just assuming. Show reply

Do not believe the good reviews they are fake, this business is just Scam centre, you won't get a call from a Doctor, just excuses and ni actual consultation, yet they charge Medicare. Many Google reviews say the say story Update your now saying the doctor contacted me and couldn't connect, that a very story to what you've said before, as you've… Read more

said it went to message bank, but you never left a message? That's odd why would you not leave a message... The truth is as I've said you called that's not the issue, but soon as I answer you would hang up, 7 times in fact you did this... Just scamming the Medicare system... Please don't reply, remove me from you while system I never want to hear from your Company again

I used the bulk bill option and was happy that I was seen earlier than expected. I was a little let down though as I wasn’t able to be given a composite pack on my script containing rosuvastatin and ezemetibe in the one pack. I was given seperate scripts which cost more than the composite pack. So that was a little disappointing, but other than that, was happy with the service.

Only use if it is a really simple issue. My consult with GP was 45 SECONDS long. My daughter had a croup cough. Very straight forward. I knew it required steroids. But quite concerning that the Dr asked no questions about her current ability to breathe or severity. And gave no instructions on how to use the medicine (eg: how many days) Service… Read more

is confusing. You choose a preferred time, which means nothing. You just get put in a queue of waiting patients (would be fine if it let you know that at time of booking).

Very limited. Would only use in a situation where I was absolutely unable to see a comprehensive GP (we are away on holidays/long weekend). Or for a required medical certificate.

The service was immediate, even though I booked late at night. I received call from doctor within 15/20 mins. The doctor listened patiently, showed great empathy and prescribed antibiotics considering my symptoms and condition. I was extremely unwell due to a throat infection and body pain, but I felt much better by the next evening. Thank you so much for the excellent care and service. Show reply

I needed a doctor on a Saturday evening and within 2 hours someone had called and I was provided with a very positive consultation and an outcome. Very satisfied. The bulk billing element was a surprise as I was ready to pay for the consultation with my credit card. This was an added bonus. A very good community service. Show reply

anybody available to come out physically in my area but would I have a telephone-health call from a physician who would assist me. I agreed and was told it would be about an hour and to keep my phone close. It was within that next hour when I spoke to a dr answered a few questions then received the consent regarding Medicare and following that my script for antibiotics. I was extremely impressed with the service I received.

Contacted prime medic online at 930pm because I have been sick for 3weeks. Someone contacted me for my information and then said a dr will call me back shortly. I waited 40minutes and then the dr phoned and sent me a script of Panafacort and amoxicillin. Bulk billed also which was great. Now I just gotta start feeling better. Show reply
