🎗 Breast cancer scans save lives, but they remain critically underfunded.
On the eve of International Day of Radiology, Hunter Imaging supports ADIA in raising awareness of how Medicare underfunding impacts patients and providers alike.
Scans like breast ultrasound, 2D mammography, and 3D mammography play a vital role in early detection, yet many patients are left with significant out-of-pocket costs.
Why? Because Medicare rebates are so low, it’s often not viable for practices to bulk bill while continuing to provide the high standard of care that patients rely on.
➡️ Rebates have increased by less than $1 per year since 1998
➡️ Bulk billing rates remain as low as 32% for some services
➡️ Patients can pay $100+ per scan, even for essential imaging
At Hunter Imaging, we believe in accessible, timely care — and that starts with funding services that patients rely on.
