Cost for ultrasound
I have a lump on my right breast and my GP told me to have ultrasound. Does anyone know how much does it cost for an ultrasound and whether it is covered by medicare?

If there is a Medicare Number on the referral, I believe it is usually bulk billed?
If you are on a pension or have a Centrelink card, it should be bulk billed (but I had to pay about $180 when I had my Biopsy last Dec, which involved the Dr doing the biopsy plus a technician doing the ultrasound as well.)
All the best with your US xxx (Maybe, ask them if you've got 'dense breast tissue' - it is good to know!!)
