Hey guys,

Sorry if this post is in the wrong section but I will keep it short and sweet

Just looking for opinions/Advice

I am a British National on a 457 work visa. I have numerous things I have been carrying with me for a while with regards to health issues.

One particular issue is with an ongoing stomach issue and so I went to the Docs as I have been carrying this with me for over a year now..

They sent me for Blood, Urine and Stool tests and thank god I asked the price before I went ahead and did them! $760 Just for the tests!

My question is, is this a normal price for someone who is supposedly a temporary resident?...and if so, What options do I have with regards to getting Health Insurance that will cover this?...Is there no recipocal agreement? (The 'Visitor' Medicare card I have seems useless!)

Any advice what so ever would be a great help! :confused:

Cheers!

Ruddy
