Are you in Australia? My fills are covered by Medicare as long as I have a current referral on file with my surgeon. Referrals expire after 12 months unless you get your GP to write indefinite on it.

If you are not in Australia and your Medicare is different to ours, then I don't know.

NO, Ia m in the good old USA....but thanks for the info...:)

Might be the same here for all I know..

Medicare in Australia is our government healthcare system - not perfect but definitely makes access to healthcare affordable for all.

I live in Connecticut and have Medicaid and mine are covered. Not sure for how long though because I heard after a certain amount of time they do not cover them anymore.....Guess I will find out!
