I am not over 70 but I am interested in a bone density scan! Am I eligible for bulk-billing?
For patients that are under 70, if you have a pre-existing medical condition such as: a minimal trauma fracture; early onset of menopause; chronic liver or renal
disease; rheumatoid arthritis (to name a few), you would be eligible to have a bulk-billed scan every 12 to 24 months depending. You will need to discuss this with your GP.
What is the cost of a bone
density scan if I am not eligible for bulk-billing?
The cost of a bone density scan is $90, or $50 if you are a pension card holder.
