DEXA Bone Density Scancost, bulk billing & Medicare
DEXA bone density scans attract a Medicare rebate when you meet specific criteria, including being aged 70 or over, or having risk factors such as previous minimal-trauma fracture, long-term corticosteroid use, or conditions linked to bone loss. Many clinics bulk bill eligible patients; if you are not Medicare-eligible, DEXA is one of the more affordable scans to pay for privately.
A referral from your GP or specialist is required. Your doctor can tell you whether you meet Medicare's bone densitometry criteria, and how often a rebated repeat scan is allowed.
