Billing information

Whilst many examinations are bulk billed, an out-of-pocket expense (gap) may apply. Patient fees charged by Coolum Radiology are consistent with providing quality imaging services. Fees vary between imaging modalities and procedures. The Medicare schedule of fees represents what the Federal Government is prepared to contribute towards the cost of health services. Unfortunately, it does not always cover the costs of providing high quality care in our clinics. The patient
co-contribution, or gap, is the difference between the cost and the Medicare rebate. Our reception staff will inform you of an approximate cost before your examination.​

Please note that not all examinations are eligible to receive a rebate from Medicare and, in those cases, no Medicare reimbursement will apply. In certain circumstances, concession card holders may be eligible for a reduced fee.​
