Guest May Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Anyone been to retinal specialist Matthew Russell. Not sure how much of this Medicare is going to pay for. A lot to be said about private medical care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaL Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I could only fond one review on him on RateMD's .com but it is a positive onehttp://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/3600967/Dr-Matthew-Russell-Brisbane-QLD.htmlI don't know that you will get much from Medicare unless you are treated for a medical condition of the eye, such as cataracts, glaucoma or diabetes.Do you have a referral to him, otherwise I am not sure Medicare will pay anything.A referral from a GP, Optometrist or currentspecialist is required before an initial consultationwith an Ophthalmologist in order to receive aMedicare benefit for that consultation.Here is some more info on Medicare and how it works, including safety net thresholds, I'm sure this info will be good for others too.http://www.mydr.com.au/first-aid-self-care/australian-health-system-how-it-works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest May Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thank you, Medicare explained it nicely and the receptionist. I have to have my eyes dilated and my retinas checked as I had a hole about 2 years back. Just trying to stay high spirited considering my work situation.

Guest May Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Tear was lasered and we need to check up in 4 weeks time/ he says his laser machine the only one of its kind in Brisbane. Practice very busy, very efficient. Hopefully I get a clean bill of health November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
