Preparing for your mri scan
- Remove all metal: jewellery, watches, hair clips, piercings, hearing aids.
- Tell the clinic in advance about any implants, pacemakers, cochlear implants, or metal fragments in your body.
- You may need to fast for 4–6 hours if contrast dye is planned or you are having an abdominal MRI.
- If you experience claustrophobia, let the clinic know. They can talk you through options.
MRI Scancost, bulk billing & Medicare
MRI costs vary more than any other scan because not all MRI machines are Medicare-licensed. Medicare-eligible scans at licensed clinics typically cost $0–$250 out of pocket, while non-eligible scans can cost $300–$800 or more. Some clinics bulk bill eligible MRI referrals. Comparing clinics before you book can save you hundreds of dollars.
A referral from a GP or specialist is required. Medicare rebates only apply to specific MRI items at clinics holding a Medicare licence for that scanner. Your referring doctor can advise whether your scan is likely to attract a rebate, and the clinic will confirm when you book.
