Radiology Billing Policy
Medicare card-holders are bulk-billed for services referred by their GP or specialist, including interventions. We invite you to experience the difference a quality first approach makes to radiology that’s in your community.
*NB: MRI at Western Radiology is not Medicare Licenced. As such, MRI cannot be bulk billed. However, we maintain as low as possible pricing to be best in market to align with our policy to bulk bill wherever possible.

At Western Radiology we have high standards for image and report turnaround. Our images are taken digitally and so once they’re processed by our technicians, they are released immediately to the referrer. The report will be generated by our expert team of radiologists and delivered the next business day, if not before to your referrer. Some more detailed scans like cardiac scans may take an extra business day depending on the outcome. An appointment with your referrer will be required to obtain and discuss your results.
Electronic image delivery is commonplace now days in radiology and images are delivered securely and electronically to your referrer. If you require a film or CD copy of your images there is small fee of $10 per film or $10 for a CD copy of all images. Speak to our friendly reception staff about your needs when you leave our practice.
