Online X-ray Referral From $[short_consult_price]

An X-ray is a type of invisible, high-energy light that can pass through objects, including the human body. When directed at a body part, X-rays create images by passing through and striking a detector or film on the other side. These images show the internal structures of the body, helping doctors diagnose various conditions. Your GP will suggest an X-ray, if further investigation is needed to check various internal structures to further diagnose a condition. This X-ray referral can be taken to any Australian radiology clinic.

The online referral letter will typically include information about the specific X-ray views needed. For example, if your concern is related to a specific joint or bone, the referral may specify the views required to capture the necessary images.

If an X-ray is recommended, your telehealth doctor or GP will issue a referral for the X-ray imaging. This referral will be an electronic document that is sent via email within minutes.

Some X-rays require prior booking. With the referral in hand, you can contact a radiology centre nearby to schedule your appointment.

X-rays could be bulk billed by many radiology centres. Please contact your local centre for their fees schedule.
