Ultrasound and medicare-need advice please

[julie_ann_jules]

Just wondering what state you are in??? In victoria you can have scan's done in your local public hospital which is free. We also have some ultrasound places that are free, eg. gribbles. If u are in victoria you can use your referal at any ultrasound place, u do not have to go to the one on the referal. So maybe try calling a few ultrasound places and getting costs at them. Or you could go and see your GP and explain your situation. Your GP should be able to organise a scan for you free.
Good luck

Hello to Rommy'sMummy and julie_ann_jules

Thanks for your very precious advice. I just saw my doctor she gave me new referral of Balaclava Radiology .they are bulk billed for first ultrasound (pregnancy viability).
later they charge 150 each for rest of the appointments .

julie_ann_jules,
I am in Vic and my doc referred me Sandringham hospital. I am thinking to give them a call and book my self as a public patient might be this way I don't have to worry for future ultrasounds charges.

Rommy'sMummy,
It seems wonderful SA has more nice system then VIC. In Victoria not all hosptals ultrasounds freely.

Well guys wish me good luck. tomorrow I am going for my ultrasound to check my bub is doing well.Iam little concern because of past history and today my HCG level was little bit decreased then the previous test


Thanks
Nim
