To see a specialist or consultant, you need a referral letter from your GP. These letters often name the specialist the GP wants you to see. An open referral is when a GP says what type of specialist you need instead, such as skin or eye specialist.
Someone who goes to a hospital or out-patient clinic for an appointment with a doctor or specialist. Not a day- or in-patient.
A practising member of certain professions allied to medicine who, in all cases, meets our recognition criteria for benefit purposes in their field of practice and who we have told in writing that we currently recognise as a practitioner for benefit purposes.
When such persons provide such services to you as part of your in-patient or day-patient treatment those services will form part of the private hospital charges. The professions concerned are dieticians, nurses, orthoptists, speech therapists, audiologists, psychologists and psychotherapists.
A medical practitioner with particular training in an area of medicine (such as consultant surgeons, consultant anaesthetists and consultant physicians) with full registration under the Medical Acts, who meets our criteria for specialist recognition and benefit purposes, and who we have told in writing that we currently recognise as a specialist or benefit purposes in their field of practice.
Surgical or medical services (including diagnostic tests) that are needed to diagnose, relieve or cure a disease, illness or injury.
