Do I have to see one of your specialists first to get a vascular scan in your onsite vascular lab?
No – your GP can refer directly to the lab, rather than having to see the specialist first and then have to come back for your scan and back to the specialist again with the results.
All scans are bulk-billed, however if you need more than one ultrasound scan they will need to be done on different days to be eligible for a full Medicare rebate.
How long does it take to get in to see a vascular surgeon at your practice?
Our doctors aim to see all patients within three to four weeks and urgent patients will be triaged and seen urgently with a call from your GP or specialist.
