Hi,

DH and I are planning to TTC later in the year. Got a referral from the doctor to do some blood test for rubella, zoster, full blood test and to find out if I am RH +ve.

I rang the pathology lab prior to attenting to ask if there are any out of pocket expenses and if so how much. I was told no and that i will get a rebate from Medicare.

I got a bill for $198 today and I rang medicare and they said that I will only be getting $82back.

Just wanted to find out if any of you had been out of pocket too for similar tests.Have I been misinformed or incorrectly billed?

Also, has any of you had a pre-pregnancy blood test that was fully bulk billed.

TIA
