GP ordered tests can generally be bulk billed through Medicare, but this may vary depending on the tests ordered, whether your GP participates in ‘bulk billing’ and selects this option on your form.
Private pathology is ordered through a number of providers, depending on the tests required. These providers can include IntePathology, 23andMe, NutriPath, Research Nutrition, Interclinical Laboratories and SmartHealth Pathology. Costs are dependent on the test ordered and will be discussed this with you prior to ordering any tests. QML is the preferred pathology provider.
