Pathology

Having our own Tuggerah on-site pathology service ensures a fast turnaround on emergency and urgent care pathology test results, assisting our Central Coast team of Specialist Emergency Physicians to quickly make informed decisions about your medical condition and the best way to treat it.

All pathology tests are combined with a consultation and the associated facility fee.

If you find that having blood taken can be difficult based on your anatomy, we can perform ultrasound-guided blood tests which minimise repeated attempts and discomfort.

  • D-Dimer Tests

Pathology Results

Urgent pathology tests requested by our emergency and urgent care clinic team will be turned around as quickly as possible, with the results returned to you and your Specialist Emergency Physician usually on the same day.

If you were seen by one of our Specialist Emergency Physicians but your pathology test results were not required before you were discharged from our EUC facility, we follow up your results and contact you and your GP as needed.

Pathology Fees

All of our EUC pathology services associated with consultation are fully bulk billed, which means you will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses.

Pathology FAQs

If you already have a pathology referral and are simply seeking collection of the sample without seeing our Emergency Medicine Specialist then attendance at an external blood collection centre such as Australian Clinical Labs is advised. If you are seeking consultation with our Emergency Medicine Specialist together with your pathology test, the facility fee applies.

All of our pathology services are bulk-billed at no cost to you if you are an eligible Medicare card holder.

If you do not have a Medicare card, please get in touch with our team.
