When you see a specialist, you need to have a referral to be eligible for Medicare benefits. The doctors prefer to discuss with you before referring you to a specialist. Referrals from a general practitioner (GP) to a specialist are valid for 12 months, unless otherwise specified. This period begins from the date of your first consultation with the specialist, not the date the referral is issued by the GP.
Staff cannot discuss your results over the phone due to confidentiality reason. We recommend that patients return for follow up consultation with doctors after any tests, doctors will explain the results and/or discuss a treatment plan.
