MEDICAL EXPENSES - TIPS
I wish someone had told me beforehand, but I found out the hard way! As far as tests go (not surgeries), if you need any tests whatsoever, xRays, ultrasounds, bloodwork, bone scans, brain scans or MR...
I am guessing that there is also a Public v Private issue here too? Can anyone shed any light?
I had my Mammo, US, Biopsy, CT, Bone Scan done as an outpatient at MIA (Medical Imaging Australia) - by the time my bone scan was invoiced it was Gap- free as I had reached a threshold set by MIA (I spent 30mins at Medicare this morning trying to work out all of the invoices)
I am interested if this is just imaging or pathology as well. My Gap for my inpatient pathology was nearly $300 none of which contributes to my Gap benefit for Medicare as I was an inpatient - this had already been reduced by the pathology company as I had reached their out of pocket limit.
It is all very confusing. :-)
