Referral, Medicare & bulk billing
Medicare rebates for lumbar spine MRI depend on the referrer and the reason. Specialists such as neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons and some others can request Medicare-eligible spine MRI, while GP access for adults is limited to certain indications. Children under 16 have broader GP options. The scan must also be done on a Medicare-eligible machine. The clinic will confirm whether your referral is Medicare-eligible. Booking through Radly sends a request, and the clinic confirms the time with you.

Can a GP refer me for a lower back MRI?
A GP can refer you, but for adults most GP-referred lumbar spine MRI is not Medicare-rebated and would be private. A specialist referral may attract a rebate. The clinic will confirm.
Do I need an MRI for back pain?
Most back pain improves without imaging. MRI is usually reserved for nerve symptoms, red-flag signs or when surgery or injections are being considered. Talk with your doctor.
Is a CT scan or MRI better for the lower back?
MRI shows discs and nerves best and has no radiation. CT is quicker, shows bone well and is an option if you can't have MRI.
