Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral for a CT scan in Kalkallo?
Yes. A valid referral from your GP, specialist or dentist is required to have your CT scan bulk billed under Medicare. If you are not sure whether your referral covers a CT scan, our reception team can check this for you before your appointment.
Most CT scans are bulk billed for Medicare eligible patients. Some specialised procedures may attract a gap fee, but our team will always explain any costs upfront before your scan goes ahead, so there are no surprises.
Most CT scans take between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the area being imaged. Once your scan is complete, a specialist radiologist reviews the images and prepares a detailed report, which is sent to your referring doctor usually within 24 hours. Your doctor will then discuss the results and next steps with you.
Booking is easy. You can call our Mickleham clinic directly, or book online through our website. Where possible, we do our best to accommodate same day appointments for Kalkallo patients, especially for urgent referrals.
Please bring your referral letter and Medicare card. If you are having a contrast CT scan, our team may also ask about any allergies, kidney conditions or medications beforehand, so it is a good idea to mention these when booking. Arriving a few minutes early helps ensure a smooth check-in.
