PATIENT INFORMATION

ACCOUNT INFORMATION

Why have I received an account?

Your doctor has requested us to perform a pathology test.  The specimen will have been collected by your doctor in their surgery, day surgery or hospital.

Hospital/Day Surgery billing

We have agreements to direct bill most health funds so most patients will not receive an account however if we do not have your private health fund details you will receive an account which you can then submit to your health fund.

Outpatient (non-hospital billing)

We charge the Medicare schedule fee.  Medicare will rebate 85% of the schedule fee and you will be required to pay the balance. 

Health Care Card/Pension Card holders

Your Medicare cheque will be accepted as full payment of your account.  Please quote your concession card number on our payment slip. 

Veterans Affairs card holders

These will be directly billed to Department of Veterans Affairs if your details are on the pathology request form.  If you receive an account from us and have a card please notify us and we will forward the account to DVA on your behalf. 

Claiming from Medicare

You can either pay us first and then submit your claim to Medicare or claim from Medicare first.

PAYING US BEFORE CLAIMING FROM MEDICARE

We will issue you a receipt which should be forwarded to Medicare with a Medicare claim form (enclosed with your original account).
