Can You Get a Bulk-Billed Ultrasound If You're Bleeding Early in Pregnancy?

Getting a referral for a pregnancy ultrasound is stressful enough without worrying about the bill. The good news: some early pregnancy scans can be bulk billed, but it's not automatic across the board. It comes down to things like your Medicare eligibility and the details on your referral. A dating scan, for instance, may be bulk billable depending on your circumstances — but a scan ordered specifically because of bleeding might be assessed differently.

Before you book, it's worth checking with the clinic directly rather than assuming either way. Nobody needs a surprise bill added to an already anxious week.
