All accounts are expected to be settled on the day that service is provided by Melbourne Radiology Clinic.
Our Fees
Our fees reflect the service, training and dedication of our professional staff and are in line with that seen in other quality radiology practices that provide the latest technology and state of the art equipment. Complex and expensive equipment is required to provide an accurate diagnosis and an effective modern radiology practice.
Fees vary between different types of tests and an out of pocket expense, known as “the gap”, will be charged to private patients. The Medicare rebate provided by the Federal Government will partially refund our fee.
NOTE: All MRI scans conducted at Melbourne Radiology Clinic are not reimbursed by the government. The cost of a MRI scan is unable to be claimed from Medicare or any private health fund so patients are liable for the entire expense of the MRI examination. Please note that patients referred by TAC, Workcover and Veteran Affairs are usually covered with a pre-certification authority provided by these third party insurers.
Should the nature of your test alter at the time of the study (for example, an incorrect test is ordered or further treatment has been required that could not have been anticipated at the time of booking) then this may alter the cost of the test and therefore the gap.
We accept all major credit cards and cash and also provide EFTPOS facilities at our practice. Please note that we do not accept Diners Card, American Express or personal cheques.
Patients who experience severe financial difficulty may ask to discuss their individual situation with our practice manager.
