Can I go to any PRP Diagnostic Imaging or GXU Radiology Specialists site?

Will my out-of-pocket cost change?

Out-of-pocket costs can vary depending on several factors, including whether Medicare provides a rebate, if the scan is part of a funded screening program (such as the National Lung Cancer Screening Program), and any government concessions you may hold. 

The majority of scans performed across the region are bulk billed. If there are any out-of-pocket costs, we will inform you prior to your examination.
