Not all examinations are eligible to receive a rebate from Medicare and, in those cases, no Medicare reimbursement will apply. In certain circumstances, concession card holders may be eligible for a reduced fee. Payments may be made by EFTPOS, Mastercard and Visa.
Fees vary between imaging modalities. Patients are advised of an approximate cost before their examination. The Medicare schedule of fees represents what the Federal Government is prepared to contribute towards the cost of health services. Unfortunately, it does not cover the costs of providing high quality care in our clinics. The patient co-contribution, or gap, is the difference between the cost of providing high-quality health care, and the Medicare rebate.
