It is important to note that Medicare rebates are often limited to patients who fulfil these requirements we have provided links to the Medicare website that provides this information for each rebated test. Medicare rebates for genetic pathology are complex, and the criteria can vary widely for each patient according to a range of different factors such as whether a patient has an affected family member etc. Where applicable, we indicate the rebate that would potentially be available from Medicare. More than 90% of the genetic tests provided across Australia are not covered by Medicare. There may also be a separate collection fee that covers the cost of collecting the required samples for whatever tests have been ordered on a particular occasion. The actual cost paid by the patient may be less than the price shown, depending on what other tests have been ordered. These prices do not necessarily apply to patients who have the test during a stay in hospital, or who are not Australian residents, or where the cost of the test is being covered by an organisation rather than the individual. These prices do not apply to patients being cared for outside Australia. The prices shown on our website represent the maximum that would be paid for the test by a patient seeing a doctor in a clinic or doctor’s rooms in Australia. However, in some instances, we can’t provide actual prices and/or details about Medicare rebates until the test gets to the laboratory. For many of the tests we provide, the price is listed on our website. We try to be as open about pricing as we can.
