Lime Radiology provides a bulk billing service across most Medicare eligible diagnostic examinations. Our booking consultants will advise you at the time of booking if your examination or procedure will incur an out-of-pocket fee.

Direct billing is available to third party insurers, WorkCover and Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).

At the time of scheduling your appointment, our booking consultants will advise you whether there is any specific preparation required for your scan.

Routine reports are sent to your requesting clinician within 24-48 hours of the scan. Particular examinations, such as Holter Monitor examinations can take up to five working days. For urgent scans, reports are sent out the same day.
