Do they bulk bill if the referral document has another pathology provider’s form thingo? I once went to a different pathology chain than the one on my referral and got stung with out of pocket fees… I’ll call and ask maybe. Thanks for the heads up.
Turns out there isn’t a super clinic near me that opens at 7 :( But the tip is much appreciated. The Melb Pathology places closer to work (and me) are open at 8 which would work better logistically.
I think the time I had to pay was because it was an ECG and I went to a pathology clinic at a hospital and billing was all convoluted and confusing. Looks like it should be ok with a standard blood test.
Melbourne Pathology has ‘supercentres’ that are open from 7.30 am. I use the Northcote Plaza one, but there may be one closer to you.

I think they take referrals from ALL providers. Dunno about the fees, I’ve never been asked to pay.
