Question 1

Do I need a referral to see a gynaecologist at Sage Gynaecology?

Accepted Answer

While it is not imperative to have a referral to see Dr McKnoulty or Dr Green, it is strongly advised to organise one from your GP. Without a referral, you will not be able to receive a Medicare rebate for the visit.

What are the fees for seeing a gynaecologist at Sage Gynaecology?
