Billing Information

Bulk Billing

Pensioner Card, Health Care Card & Veteran’s Affairs card holders, children under the age of 18 and adults over the age of 80 are eligible for bulk billing. If you are bulk billed you will not receive an invoice and your account will be sent directly to Medicare by SydPath.

Please note – to bulk bill in this fashion, we require your written authorisation (Signature and your valid Medicare number). In the event we do not receive your written approval, we are legally obliged to issue the invoice directly to you. Our pathology requests are structured such that your authority can be provided on the form

 

Private Billing

Private billing will occur for patients who do not meet the bulk billing criteria.

 

Does Medicare cover all pathology tests ordered?

Not all tests are eligible for the Medicare rebate and these tests must be paid for in full. For more information, please click here.

Refer to our SydPath Non Medicare Rebatable Test List  for the most common of these tests or you may search the Medicare Benefits Schedule. Please note the out-of-pocket guarantee does not apply to these tests.

Once you have received your invoice and have claimed your Medicare rebate, SydPath have guaranteed your out of pocket expenses will only be $50.00 per episode. Please note that SydPath’s Out of Pocket Guarantee does not extend to any Non Rebatable tests your referring doctor may have requested.

 

Our Guarantee for Hospital Inpatients

Once you have paid your invoice and claimed your Medicare and Private Health Insurance rebate, if you are out of pocket by more than $500.00 per hospital stay, we will refund the difference to you. Please note that SydPath’s Out of Pocket Guarantee does not extend to any Non Rebatable tests your referring doctor may have requested.
