What Should I Bring?
When attending Broken Hill Radiology, please bring:

- Any relevant previous imaging or reports that may assist with your examination
If you hold a Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card or Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) card, please also bring this with you.
Medicare and Your Referral
Medicare has specific requirements for some diagnostic imaging services. The wording of the referral, the referring practitioner's eligibility and the clinical reason for the examination can affect whether a Medicare rebate is available.
If there is an issue with your referral, our team may need to contact your referring practitioner before your examination can proceed under Medicare.
Check Before Your Appointment
We want patients to understand any costs associated with their care before undergoing an examination or procedure.
If you are unsure whether your diagnostic imaging service will be bulk billed, please contact us before your appointment. Our team can explain the applicable fees, Medicare eligibility and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
