Qld: AMAQ launch say no to no-gap campaign
Doctors say private health insurance companies offering no-gap products are unfairlylimiting the choice of specialists to patients.
Launching a "Say No to No Gaps" campaign, Australian Medical Association Queenslandpresident Dr BILL GLASSON says insurance companies are dictating what specialist a patientshould consult.
He says it is GPs in consultation with patients who should be deciding who is the mostappropriate specialist for them to see -- not somebody sitting on the front desk of ahealth fund.
Dr GLASSON says some health funds are reducing the rebate for clients who see a specialistnot on their preferred provider list.
