Hi, Anybody know if a checkup in the Skin Cancer clinics would be covered under the Reciprocal Health Agreement? And any subsequent procedures/treatment? Thanks.

from medicare:

Reciprocal health care agreements cover treatment that is medically necessary. Medically necessary treatment means any ill-health or injury which occurs while you are in Australia and which requires treatment before you return home.

Doesn't look like it is covered, but a lot of those cancer screens are free anyway, might be worth asking
