What happens after my radiology scans?
Your diagnostic imaging report will be sent directly to our clinic.
Once your scan is complete, please contact us with the name of the radiology centre so we can follow up your results promptly.
When your results arrive, we’ll notify you via text, email, and app notification.
You can then book a consult with any of our doctors—there’s no need to see the original referring doctor. Please wait for our confirmation that all results have been received before booking. If you’re unsure, call us at 1300 003 310 or email support@instantconsult.com.au.
Prefer to see your regular GP?
Let us know during your initial consult, and we can arrange for your results to be sent to your usual clinic. Alternatively, your GP can request the results directly from the imaging centre.
Note: We cannot release results to you directly until they’ve been reviewed by a doctor.
FAQs
Yes. During your initial consult you can request for your results to be sent to your usual practice where you can discuss your results with your regular GP. Alternatively, you can ask your regular GP to contact the Imaging Centre and have them request your results be sent to them. Please note we cannot send your results to your GP ourselves.
Yes, we are unable to send you a copy of your Diagnostic Imaging Report without discussing them with the doctor first. If you wish to have a copy of your report, please request them to be sent to you during your follow up consultation.
Yes, follow-up consults do incur another consultation fee.
No. The Diagnostic Images are different from the Diagnostic Imaging Report. Only when a radiographer has written and signed off on the report, and it has been confirmed to be received by our clinic should you request a follow up consultation.
Imaging requests / radiology referral forms can be used up to 12 months from your consultation.
Technically, you can get an X-ray or other radiology services without a Referral in Australia. However, most radiology clinics will require a Referral from a health professional. That’s because these types of healthcare services tend to be costly. You’ll want to make sure that the tests you’re getting correspond to your health needs. Plus, Medicare covers the cost of X-rays and other radiology services only if you have a valid Referral, especially for R-type services. Without one, you might have to pay the full amount yourself.
