A valid Medicare card is required to access care through Kantoko, but patients do not receive Medicare rebates for their subscription fees.
1. Medicare Requirement
To access services at Kantoko, you must hold a valid Medicare card.
Your Medicare information is required to:
- Verify your identity during registration and clinical onboarding
- Access the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for subsidised prescription medications
- Assign a Medicare benefit for some appointments where applicable (see below)
2. Assignment of Medicare Benefit
Kantoko subscription fees are privately billed and not eligible for Medicare rebates.
However, in some cases, patients may be asked to assign a Medicare benefit for a specific consultation. The assigned benefit does not result in a payment or rebate to the patient. Patients remain responsible for the monthly Kantoko fee, which provides ongoing access to the Kantoko platform.
3. Assignment of Medicare Benefit
In a small number of cases, patients may be asked to assign a Medicare benefit for a specific consultation. We will only do this with your consent.
The assigned benefit does not result in a payment or rebate to the patient, and is not related to the Kantoko monthly subscription.
