Referral, Medicare & bulk billing
A chest X-ray needs a referral from your GP, specialist or another eligible practitioner to attract a Medicare rebate. Many clinics bulk bill chest X-rays for eligible Medicare card holders, but billing varies by clinic and situation, so the clinic confirms when you book. Visa and employment medicals may be billed differently. Booking through Radly sends a request, and the clinic confirms your appointment.
