Is there a clinical document reprinting fee?
Edited
Yes.
An administrative fee of $16.50 applies when a clinical document needs to be reissued outside an appointment. This may include:
prescriptions;
referrals;
pathology request forms; and
other clinical documents that have been lost, misplaced or destroyed.
Why is there a fee?
Reissuing a clinical document may require administrative processing, review of your medical record and preparation of a replacement document outside a scheduled consultation.
The $16.50 administrative fee is not eligible for a Medicare rebate.
Can every document be reissued without an appointment?
No.
Your dermatologist may determine that a consultation is required before a prescription, referral, pathology request or other clinical document can be reissued.
If an appointment is required, our staff will let you know before the request is processed.
