gp visits dive, page-42

Not sure raider, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis early last year which is a chronic incurable neurological disease. Am not sure on everyones eligibility but its worth asking, I was pissed at having to see the GP to see the neurologist after 12 months and got an indefinate referral.


Here is some info I found from medicare

Indefinite referrals - when to write one

GPs are entitled to write indefinite referrals for the ongoing treatment of patients with chronic conditions. Specialists and consultant physicians are reminded to accept the validity of indefinite referrals and not to make unnecessary requests to referring practitioners for new referrals.
