PET Scancost, bulk billing & Medicare
Medicare covers PET scans for specific approved indications (most commonly in cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring) when referred by an appropriate specialist. Scans outside the approved indications are billed privately and can be expensive, so always confirm eligibility and cost with the clinic first.
PET generally requires a specialist referral, and Medicare eligibility depends on your specific clinical indication. PET is offered at a limited number of licensed centres, mostly attached to hospitals and larger imaging providers.
