How to get a same-day referral for imaging scans?

If you need an imaging scan, a Hola Health doctor can provide a referral letter during a video consult. You can then take this letter to any radiology clinic in Australia.

How it works:

1. Video call wth a registered GP: Speak with a Hola Health doctor online in 15 minutes once you submit your request.
2. Describe your symptoms: Tell the doctor why you need a scan.
3. Receive your referral: If a scan is needed, the doctor will email the referral to you instantly.
4. Visit a clinic: Take the digital referral to any radiology centre. The imaging centre may charge a “gap fee” depending on their own pricing and your Medicare status.

Hola Health telehealth GPs are available 24/7.

Clinical note: A telehealth GP will assess if a scan is medically necessary. While online consults are convenient, an in-person exam is the best way to check for physical injuries or lumps. Referrals are provided at the doctor’s discretion. Your assessment depends on the symptoms you describe. If you have severe trauma, a possible spinal injury, or loss of limb function, call 000 immediately.
