Understanding what you have to pay for diagnostic imaging.
This site provides information on helping you understand the costs associated with radiological procedures. Its aim is to help you recognize the full extent of any potential out of pocket expenses relating to imaging services during your hospital admission.

IMPORTANT: When you are an in-patient, Medicare only pays 75% of the schedule fee for imaging services. Some doctors have arrangements with health funds such that your account is reimbursed in full. In many circumstances, however, there will be out of pocket expenses which you are required to pay. Out of pocket expenses vary between providers - there is no standard or agreed fee.
