Key Points about Referrals

A medical referral from a GP or Specialist is necessary to claim rebates from Medicare and private health insurance

Referrals from GPs are valid for 12 months, while specialist referrals are only valid for 3 months

Not all procedures qualify for Medicare rebate - cosmetic procedures do not qualify
