Fee Structure
CRG performs radiology services for many different patient categories. These include private fee-paying patients, and patients covered under various subsidy schemes, some of which involve a copayment, for which the patient is responsible. Click here for more details.
The Accident Compensation Corporation may make part payment of your account if your claim is accepted by them. A surcharge will be charged and payment expected, although not for high technology exams such as CT and MRI. If you are concerned about the amount, please enquire at the reception desk before your examination.
Payment at the time of the examination is expected. We accept most forms of payment, by cash, cheque and most major credit cards. Accounts can also be settled through this web site. Please do not hesitate to ask to speak to our accounts team before your examination, if you anticipate difficulty with payment.
The list below is a cut-down selection of commonly requested procedures. These prices are estimates only and are subject to change at any time. For some examinations there may be additional charges e.g. for anaesthesia. If you are concerned about the possible price of your examination, please fax the request form to us, or telephone is for an evaluation.
