OK so when DS got all his bloods done last week (standard ones as well as genetic ones) I spoke to the pathologist who told me it will be bulkbilled (which is great
 )Now I'm reading up on these blood tests and some of them (especially the Fragile X and Molecular Kareotyping) are usually not bulk billed. I'm a little annoyed at that but thought hey I'll pay the $100 but OMG some of these tests cost over $500 !!! Can someone clarify the $500 - surely it is a typo. And it was only $50. Thankyou heaps for your advice |

We've had genetic bloods, fragile x's etc done in private, public & at pathologists and never paid a cent. The other thing is you might need to check that they can actually do them, we had to specifically go into the Childrens Hospital for some the other week as the other centres couldn't do them.
