Question 6

Can I order my own tests through the clinic?

Answer

No. Your Practitioner is best placed to decide if tests need to be undertaken. They need to assess and investigate presenting symptoms before deciding what if any appropriate testing may be required. Given the wide range of potential tests available, not to mention the cost of testing, there are many factors which need to be considered before tests are suggested for further investigation. As such, Functional and Pathology testing is only available to patients as part of a Practitioner consultation. If you are not currently a patient of the clinic, an initial consultation is a necessary prerequisite before any tests are ordered. At this consultation, we also request patients bring along with them any previous pathology or functional test results that they may have had in the past 6 months.

Question 8

Do you offer Health Fund Rebates on consultations?

Answer

There are no health fund rebates for our consultations. As of April 2019, the Federal Government removed the ability of most health funds to offer rebates on Naturopathic Consultations.

Question 9

Can I get general pathology tests at the clinic?

Answer

As part of a consultation, your Practitioner can order general pathology tests, depending on your presenting symptoms. All pathology tests ordered through the clinic are Non Medicare (fee for service) and the patient will need to pay for the tests themselves.
