Patient Information
We believe all Australians deserve affordable pathology.
Thats why we’re committed to bulk billing so patients can continue to afford the testing they need.
Results are usually available at your doctor around 48hrs after your procedure
We understand how taxing it can be waiting on results, which is why we pride ourselves on our fast results! Follow your surgeon or GP’s advice on when to book in to receive your results.
Please let your surgeon know if you would like your results sent to any additional medical professionals.
We bulk bill your service where we can
If you have a medicare card you are unlikely to receive a bill from us. If you have, please call our offices to confirm your details are correct on our system. Sometimes tissue may require additional specialised testing to diagnose. In such cases we will oncharge you the fee we receive from the specialised testing facility.
If you are an overseas visitor, you will receive a bill in the mail which can be claimed from your insurance once paid.
We are a specialist histopathology laboratory
Your sample is processed in our medical equipment to produce slides which are examined under a microscope. A pathologist examines the slides and writes a report with their medical opinion on what is happening in your body. Your specialist and/or GP will read and interpret this report for you.
