The AMA has sounded the alarm after a private health insurer bought a controlling stake in a telehealth clinic that offers $25 text-based consults with GPs and personalised prebiotic supplements based on analysis of its patient stools.  

According to Nib’s website, the GP consults are available to its 1.4 million members through its ‘partner’, Hub Health which also offers home-delivered prescription medications from 70 cents per dose.
