I want to see a neurologist to have a tremor in my hand checked out. When I went to the GP and got a referral, she said I would have to wait around 12 months because "my situation" was not urgent. There are only 2 neurologists in my regional area in QLD.
I thought because I have private health insurance, I would be placed ahead of the queue a bit more and be able to see a lot neurologist faster; like in a month. The GP said the private health cover didn't matter, geez...like now they tell me!!! I've been paying this private health insurance for 8 years now (I'm 38) - I thought one of the benefits of having private health insurance was that you didn't have to wait like 12 months - that you could see a specialist in like 1-2 months.
Now, faced with the option to have to fly to Brisbane to see a specialist to see if I can get in quicker.
Also, with NIB for many years, seems to be the best and cheapest health fund with the most extras for a single guy like me (despite the premiums going up) - anyone else got a better private health fund for singles?
