Overseas Patients

Most individuals from overseas are typically ineligible for Medicare benefits in Australia, meaning they will be required to pay for the  cost of imaging services rendered by our facility. Your private health insurance may cover some of the costs, but you will need to confirm eligibility directly with your insurance provider.

Understanding the interplay between Medicare, private health insurance, and overseas status is vital to navigate the intricacies of healthcare coverage effectively. By directly verifying eligibility with your insurance provider, you can proactively address any potential gaps in coverage and ensure a seamless healthcare experience in Australia.

In certain cases, overseas visitors might be supported by a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA), although it is crucial to understand that Reciprocal Health Care Agreements (RHCA) coverage does not extend to all healthcare services. While some expenses may be covered under this agreement, there are limitations. Please explore the specifics of Reciprocal Health Care Agreements for a comprehensive understanding of the services included. This resource serves as a comprehensive repository of information, offering detailed insights into the scope and limitations of the coverage provided under Reciprocal Health Care Agreements (RHCA).
