Australian private medical insurance is intended to cover inpatient (i.e. admitted to hospital) costs and does not cover outpatient medical appointments. Depending on your cover, your insurance may help subsidize certain non-PBS medications.
Referrals from a general practitioner are valid for 12 months. Referrals from another specialist are valid for 3 months. Subsequent consultations for the same condition are covered during this period. A new referral is required after this period has elapsed, or if you wish to see the dermatologist regarding a new unrelated condition.
Your general practitioner (or sometimes another specialist) may refer you to see a dermatologist if they would like assistance with the diagnosis of an uncertain skin condition bothering you, or if assistance with the treatment of your skin condition is required. You should only ever have any cosmetic procedure in a dermatology practice as a dermatologist knows skin best.
