Will I get a medicare rebate?
Yes, most patients receive a rebate if you have a valid medicare card.
If you are not able to receive a rebate from medicare, you will be informed prior to your appointment. There are certain terms and conditions which medicare uses, most importantly, having a valid GP referral.
Can I see the cardiologist without a referral?
This would not be advised as your GP should be the centre of your management. Also, you will not be eligible for any medicare rebates without a valid referral.
