| Ask your doctor the following questions: |
-
Would you treat me under my fund's
Access Gap Cover
arrangements?
-
Will I incur any personal out of pocket expenses for my treatment and if so,
can you give me a written estimate of how much?
-
Will any assisting doctors also use
Access Gap Cover
?
-
Are you prepared to send the bill to my fund directly, so that they can claim
my Medicare benefit on my behalf and send the payment back to you?
