Fees charged by DMDI are consistent with providing the highest quality, 3D diagnostic imaging services. All patients settle their accounts on the day of service.
Fees vary between imaging modalities and patients are advised of the cost before their examination. Private patients will pay a gap beyond the Medicare refund. We accept credit cards (no American Express or Diners), and provide EFTPOS as a preferred payment option allowing full settlement of accounts on the day. Please note cheques are not accepted.
The Medicare ‘schedule fee’ represents what the Federal Government is prepared to contribute towards the cost of health services. It does not, nor was it ever intended to, cover the full cost of providing diagnostic imaging services. Our fees are set to cover the costs of providing quality 3D diagnostics including individual cross sectional analysis and to satisfy the requirements of the referring practitioner. The ‘gap’ is the difference between these two fees.
Patients who anticipate financial difficulty are asked to discuss their situation with our office administration staff when making an appointment.
Many of the procedures requested by the referrers are bulk billed, however, we will inform you of the gap payment requirements when you call to make an appointment.
For enquiries regarding fee payment please discuss with our friendly team at the time of making your appointment.
