Saturn Pathology- Perth large bill
I have seen a few comments on here already about people receiving large bills from Saturn pathology months after having simple blood tests.
I am unfortunately in this situation, but with two large bills each over $250. The first bill came in months later and after the second blood test.
I have raised this with Saturn pathology as I don’t believe the informed financial consent was sufficient. I have contacted Medicare and they have told me to submit the invoice before I pay it and they will send a cheque to Saturn. Unfortunately I need a provider number and Saturn are refusing to give this until the bill is paid. I rang HADSCO and they said they can’t really do anything.
I have a few questions- 1.has anyone successfully received reimbursement from Medicare after they have paid the invoice.
2. Has anyone had debt collectors now contact them If the bill is unpaid.
3. Does anyone know if we can seek legal action as this does not seem right.
