Medicare MRI Rebates

Details: Published: April 2022

We are proud to offer the latest in MRI technology and with the new updates from Medicare most scans can be bulk billed if they meet the Medicare eligibility criteria. We are the only radiology provider in the region with Medicare rebatable scans available.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnet and radiofrequency to obtain extremely detailed cross-sectional images of the body. MRI is now the preferred method for assessing many parts of the body, including the brain, joints, and spine. MRI offers a safe and efficient method for diagnosis of many medical conditions and produces the most detailed images of the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal system

Our wide bore MRI scanners offer a more comfortable and relaxing examination with reduced claustrophobia and 60% of examinations can be performed with the patient's head outside the magnet, and 40% more headroom for examinations where the head is scanned within the magnet. MRI has no radiation, is non-invasive, has no known health risks and we have specialist MRI radiologists on-site everyday meaning referring practitioners are provided with detailed reports in a short timeframe.
