We recommend you to have a valid referral before seeing Dr Huang. This will allow you to access Medicare rebate for your consultations, certain MBS procedures, treatments including IVF and IUI, as well as any investigations and tests that Dr Huang orders for you, if you are eligible for Medicare. This will decrease your out-of-pocket expenses. You can look up services subsidized by Medicare here.
It is also advisable to have a regular doctor for the ongoing care of your general health and to keep records of your general health history. This is usually your general practitioner, (GP). By providing a referral from your GP, Dr Huang can keep your GP updated on your progress and send records of your results from your gynaecological care. Referral from your GP will stay valid for 12 months.
You can also see Dr Huang with a referral from a specialist doctor, which will stay valid for 3 months.
Your biological items will remain safely frozen at Melbourne IVF.
If you wish to continue your fertility treatment with Dr Huang at Genea, they can help facilitate transferring your medical records from Melbourne IVF as well as transporting any biological items to Genea Melbourne City.
The transport timeline can be variable, depending on Melbourne IVF laboratory work load. Due to high volume of transitioning patients transporting their biological items, we anticipate it may take them longer to complete your transport (up to 8 weeks) in the short term. Therefore, we suggest initiating the transport request as soon as you have made your decision.
If you decide to continue your treatment through Melbourne IVF, you will need to see another doctor at Melbourne IVF. To facilitate your transfer of care, please note you have access to all correspondences written by Dr Huang as well as all your pathology and imaging reports in your Patient Portal. You can download your records from your Patient Portal and give to your new doctor. All your past fertility treatment details are stored in the Melbourne IVF database, so your new doctor will be aware of your treatment history.
GP referrals are valid for 12-months and referrals from other Specialist are valid for 3-months.
