Item Medicare Safety Nets can help to lower out-of-pocket medical costs for medical consultations.
If patients need to see a doctor or get tests regularly, they can end up with higher medical costs. Medicare Safety Nets is a government program that can help to lower these out-of-pocket costs.
Medicare Safety Nets have thresholds. When patients spend money on gap and out-of-pocket costs, this can count towards reaching these thresholds. Once patients reach their threshold for the year, then they may start getting higher Medicare benefits and pay lower out-of-pocket costs for medical services.
More information about this program can be found on the Services Australia website.
