Extra expenses
I have been hospitalized in December,referred by my GP. In January I had my follow up visit and was given medication and was advised in 3 months time I will have to revisit the Dr and get some blood tests done. <br> Now discovery wants me to 1st visit a GP and she will have to again refer me to the Specialist. I was initially referred by the GP,and I am being treated by the specialist as the GP could not help,WHY THE HELL MUST I GO BACK TO THE GP JUST FOR HER TO SEND ME BACK TO THE DR THAT IS MONITORING MY CONDITION.<br> I am not willing to visit a GP and pay unnecessarily.The 1st reference can be used as its a follow up.I DO HAVE A BUDGET FOR SPECIALIST.

Thank you for your comment.
The Keycare Specialist Benefit aims to help you with one specialist visit before and after an operation. You must visit a GP first as first line treatment and should your GP be unable to treat you, you will be referred to the appropriate specialist.
As discussed, kindly supply your supporting documents and reports, so we may ascertain if the referral process would still be necessary in this instance.
Should you require any further assistance in this matter, you may contact us directly.
