Are MRI’s and xrays covered with my top cover ??
Hi Jennifer,
Private health insurance will only cover your MRI or xray if the scan is done while you’re in hospital as a patient. If the scan is done as an outpatient, you’re unlikely to be covered. Here’s an article that breaks this down in a bit more detail: https://www.finder.com.au/health-insurance/hospital-cover/mri-scan-cost
Hope this helps!
