My initial diagnostic MRI was paid for by the hospital. My 12 month check up was $575 (I was 46) as I no longer checked the "high risk" box. So if you think you have breast cancer you are high risk, if you've had it your not. LOL.
The hospital has come on board recently and if you are referred from surgical outpatient clinic (by the consultant) for MRI they will now cover the costs of the MRI. So all 4 scans last week cost me zero. If my GP had referred me it would have been $120 gap on the u/s, $180 gap on the mammogram (if no biopsy required or it would have been $220) and $575 on the MRI. So many variations. Bloody ridiculous.
