Since July 2011, CT Coronary Angiography has attracted a Medicare-rebate provided one of the following indications apply and your referral is from a medical specialist (e.g. Cardiologist):

1. Stable symptoms consistent with coronary ischaemia, is at low to intermediate risk of coronary artery disease and would have been considered for coronary angiography; or
2. Requires exclusion of coronary artery anomaly or fistula; or
3. Undergoing non-coronary cardiac surgery

Examinations that are covered by Medicare will also be covered by your Private Health Fund (if you are an inpatient in a hospital at the time of your examination), though a gap payment may also apply.

If you are a holder of a Veterans Affairs card, you may be eligible for reimbursement for non-Medicare eligible Cardiac CT examinations, however approval must be arranged with your doctor prior your examination.
