Referral, Medicare & bulk billing
Hand X-rays need a referral to attract a Medicare rebate. GPs and specialists can refer, and some allied health practitioners, such as physiotherapists and chiropractors, can request certain X-rays too. Many clinics bulk bill X-rays for eligible patients, but this varies, so the clinic confirms billing when you book. Work or transport injuries may be covered under WorkCover or TAC.
