Becksie Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi everyone, Does any British expat have experience of how far "medically essential" stretches for those with the Reciprocal Medicare card? Our child nurse has recommended us to get a GP referral to a residential sleep school due to our 8-month baby sleeping terribly (somewhere like the O'Connell Family Centre in Melbourne); so I'm wondering if this would be covered. It is covered on normal Medicare (that Aussies/PRs hold), so hoping covered on the Reciprocal basis too. Thanks for any advice. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Only way you will find out is to find the Medicare item number - call them and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 GP will tell you all about it. One of my friends with twins is going to a sleep clinic. Monash medical centre has one I believe, of course guess you get to wait a while unless you have private health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Get the sleep place to phone Medicare and ask. I've had them do it with other things. A surprising amount is covered considering it makes it sound like hardly anything should be lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
