These simple preparations make the process more comfortable for you and help our pathology collector obtain the sample efficiently.
4Cyte Pathology bulk bills all Medicare-eligible tests, meaning Medicare will cover the cost for you.
If you don't have Medicare, 4Cyte Pathology will send you an account for all pathology tests, which you can claim back through your private health insurance.
Please note that some specialized tests may not be covered by Medicare and could incur out-of-pocket expenses. If any tests are not bulk billed, 4Cyte Pathology will send you a bill directly.
Your test results will be sent directly to your referring doctor usually within 3 days depending on the test.
