Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q: Do I need a referral from my GP?

A: You will need a referral from your GP or another specialist to be able to claim a medicare rebate. Otherwise you will have to pay the full consultation fee. Medicare rebates can be processed electronically by our office.

 

Q: Does my private health insurance or Medicare cover consultations?

A: Most private health insurers do not cover specialist consultations. Medicare will cover a part of the consultation fee if you have a current referral. Referrals from GPs are valid for 12 months. Referrals from specialists are valid for 3 months.

​

Q: What do I bring to my appointment?

A: Please bring:

• Your referral letter

• Medicare card

• Private Insurance details / Pension Card / DVA Card

• Xray, Ultrasound, CT, MRI scans on film or disc
