Indefinite referrals
I am just over 5 years since diagnosis. Both my oncologist and surgeon still see me each year. So I see one of them every 6 months. I have had an indefinite referral for my oncologist for 4 years but ...
I was wondering if it had something to do with what they can charge @Glemmis. She just did not want to put it down as an indefinite referral. She ended up saying I can think about it and let her know next year. I think it may mean that she will have to charge me more and I will not get as much back from Medicare. The difference she quoted was about the same as a visit to the GP anyway so I thought for the convenience of not needing to go back to the GP it would be fine with me. But I will request a clearer explanation. Thanks for your input. :)
