Your family doctor is highly trained to deal with most medical problems, but may need occasionally to refer you to a specialist. To receive a Medicare rebate for a specialist visit, you need a referral, and will need to see your doctor first. As it is illegal to backdate referrals, please do not ask us to break the law. The specialist is providing consultant advice to your GP, so it is important that you discuss the specialist’s opinion and advice with the doctor who referred you, following your visit with the specialist
