Please Note:
Medicare has recently introduced tougher regulations. If we violate them, we will be fined. Therefore, please DO NOT decide by yourself what kind of blood test or scan you need, we will do all of them if we can clinically justify that they are necessary for your healthcare. If you still need a check-up, we are always happy to offer them to you, but those tests will NOT be covered by Medicare (you will have to pay the labs for them.) The tests needed for your regular medical care will NOT be affected.
This intensified Medicare auditing is applicable to medicines as well. Therefore, we have to screen and decide whether you will really need a certain medicine you may request unless that drug is included in your regular treatment regimen.
Medicare is becoming stricter and we have to comply their rules.
Work cover certificates: patient or the employer has to pay for the certificate until it is approved and paid by the Work Cover (in which case the patient will get a reimbursement.)
