Re: Cost of Specialist Doctor Cosultation
Mine are usually about $150 for an initial. My rheumy is $135 each time, my gastro is $85 each time, my Orthopaedic guy is $100 each time. I get a fair amount back each time.
We have now hit our safety net figure due to a heavy year for specialists unfortunately.
So for my $140 initial Orthopaedic visit I paid $13.60 out of pocket the other day. Thank the lord because it was starting to add up.........
The worst sting is for MRI scans as there's no Medicare rebate for those.
