Payment at Nepean Diagnostics
At Nepean Diagnostics, we offer our diagnostic imaging services to everyone.
Bulk Billed Imaging Services
For Out-Patients, most of our services are bulk billed to Medicare.
In some cases, your tests or procedures may attract an out-of-pocket fee. This charge reflects the skills and costs involved in offering a top-quality imaging service.
No matter which type of service you require, our helpful staff can explain the billing process when you book your appointment.
Out of Pocket Fees
Where services attract a Gap Payment, you will be informed at the time of your booking.
If you do need to pay any out-of-pocket fees, you may be asked to settle your account when you come in for your procedure and then submit your Medicare claim afterwards.
Our staff are more than happy to help you with lodging your claim.
In-Patient Fees
Where a patient is being treated at the hospital the service attracts a Gap Fee. The Services Bill is normally sent to you after being discharged. Where your hospital stay is prolonged, an interval bill may be issued while still having treatment.
We appreciate these accounts to be settled within a reasonable time. When your account is paid, we will send a receipt which can be taken to Medicare to claim any rebate due.

Payment Options
Settling your account at reception is easy
If the account is Bulk Billed we will simply require your Medicare Card, some ID and the referral letter. A receipt will be supplied.
For services with an Out of Pocket component, we ask that the bill be paid completely. Payment can be made with Cash, Credit Card, EFTPOS. We will supply a receipt with the appropriate Item Number(s) listed and you can take this to Medicare to receive the rebate amount.
Medicare Safety Net
If you are paying large amounts towards your medical expenses, you may be entitled to receive an extra rebate via the Medicare Safety Net. Find out more at Medicare Australia or call the Medicare hotline on 132 011.
