Diagnostic imaging practices should factor this timeframe into their DIAS and Medicare claiming processes, and when communicating with patients.
Diagnostic imaging practices can verify their accreditation status via the LSPN Register on the Medicare website.
Important reminder
It is an offence to provide services without informing patients:
- that your practice is not accredited
- that they cannot claim a Medicare benefit.
For guidance on complying with Medicare obligations, visit the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing website.
