Myth #1
Appointments for follow up results will be bulk billed.
Busted: Appointments to discuss results are not always bulk billed and depend on the time taken to discuss. Our policy is “if it is important and serious enough to have a pathology test or medical imaging test, we believe it is important to discuss the result”
If the test is normal, it may be reassuring or it may mean that further discussion and investigation is needed. This is a separate consultation to the visit where the test was ordered and will be billed separately.
