All FAQs
I was an outpatient:
Will Medicare cover my scan?

Where your scan is covered by Medicare and you have a valid Medicare Card, Medicare will cover your scan (Bulk Billed) and you will not have to pay.

Some scans are not able to be bulk billed. In that case, out of pocket fees do apply. However, we minimise these wherever possible.

Why do I have to pay for my scan?

You may have to pay for your scan if:

  • You are not eligible for any Medicare rebate
  • You have exceeded the maximum number of services you can claim from Medicare in a year
  • There is no Medicare item number for some or all components of this service
  • Your service was not requested by an appropriate Medicare accredited specialist
  • You do not have a valid Medicare card at the time of your appointment

Our bookings officers can clarify for you once you send in your Request.

What is a Financial Consent Form?

In cases where Medicare does not cover your scan, we require you to sign a Financial Consent form, agreeing to pay the fee. Our bookings officers can clarify for you once you send in your Request.

What is an out of pocket fee?

Out of pocket fees apply when a scan is not covered under the MBS (Medicare Benefits Schedule).

I have private health insurance. Do I need to pay?

We cannot bill directly to your private health insurance company. You will need to pay for the scan and then claim the amount back from your insurer once we issue your invoice.

I am covered under WorkCover/CTP Insurance

Please bring your claim details with you – we require the name of your insurance company and your claim number to bill directly. In the event WorkCover/CTP reject your invoice, it will be re-billed to you for payment.

If your employer is paying for your scan, we require a guarantee of payment via email.

If you are unable to provide the above, you will need to pay for your scan and seek reimbursement from the relevant party.

How do I pay my account?

Payment options are listed on the bottom of your invoice.

If you wish to pay your account online please visit our secure payments portal here.
