Our Fees & Billing...

About Our Billing Practices...

Ultra Mobile Radiology is a mixed Billing Mobile Radiology Practice.

Mixed billing mean's we are able to Bulk Bill certain on-site examinations, while other exams do incur an out of pocket fee for our attendance.

Unfortunately due to low Medicare Rebates and the high cost of providing staff, radiology equipment and day to day running costs, we are unable to Bulk Bill all patient examinations.

For patients in financial hardship or those requiring urgent Radiology Intervention (to avoid a hospital transfer), we will always be there to help and will attempt to waive the out-of-pocket cost as part of our focus on servicing our community.
