Cardiac Dynamics is an investigative facility dedicated to the early detection and management of heart and vascular disease and related risk factors.
Established and managed since 1997 by Dr Geoffrey Adsett, now in association with Professor Rohan Jayasinghe Cardiac Dynamics is now bridging the gap between GP and specialist care.
We accept patients with a referral from your GP, so there is no long waiting time. We are able to streamline the assessment process and provide more people with timely solutions to their cardiovascular cares and concerns.
PLEASE BE ADVISED
Medicare have changed the rebate structure regarding Resting and Stress Echocardiograms from 1 test per year to 1 test every two years. Please advise our reception staff if you have had either of these tests within the last 2 years.
Therefore, this will impact on us being able to bulk bill your appointments and receiving our payment from Medicare if the rebate claim for you is rejected.
We are a small private practice and are no longer able to sustain the financial impact this has had on the business.
Any appointments booked from Monday the 27th of January, these tests will now be charged and your claim sent to Medicare. There is no guarantee Medicare will rebate you, if you are unsure that you have had the tests or not, this is out of our control.
Please note that if you are on a Pension, Veteran, Disability and Concession Cards or under the age of 21 you will have the option of being bulk billed if you have not had the tests within the last 2 years. If our claim for you is rejected by Medicare you will be contacted by us for payment.
An invoice will be sent to you for the relevant rebate amount:
Resting Echocardiograph $228.05
Stress Echocardiograph $406.60
If you are a Pensioner and have a current Pension Card:
Resting Echocardiograph $75.00
Stress Echocardiograph $150.00
We appreciate your understanding of this change.
