Medicare rebate for NT scan?

[hayles07]

I had mine done about a month ago. I paid $170 and got $59 back but I do know a lot of places where you don't get anything back.

In Darwin - when I got the scan. The lady at the ultrasound place said Medicare rebates anything over the 110$.
I don't know if she was right, but our scan was 160$ and we got about 50$ back.
But I can't say for sure.

I paid $260 for my NT scan and recieved a rebate from medicare of around $55 - $60 (i cant remember the exact amount). My blood test was bulk billed, so didnt have to pay anything for it.

I had the scan in a private hospital (just because my midwife refered me to there), and the bloods were done through a pathology place run by the public hospital. The pathology place was just downstairs from the ultrasound rooms, and the Ob just told me to go there for my blood test.

Thanks girls!

I know the blood test will be bulk billed, hopefully I'll get some back on the scan as well. I'm only a nurse so I don't earn that much either!
