Looking for affordable medical testing in Brisbane? Whether your GP has referred you for a sleep study, echocardiogram, or lung function test, finding a provider that offers bulk billing and is close to home can make all the difference.
At SmartCare Diagnostics, we offer a wide range of bulk-billed diagnostic tests at convenient locations across Brisbane, including North Lakes, Springfield, Taringa, Capalaba, Upper Mt. Gravatt, Ipswich, and Gatton.
Here’s everything you need to know about where to go, what’s covered, and how to book with confidence.
What Is Bulk Billed Diagnostic Testing?
Bulk billing means Medicare covers the full cost of your test, so you won’t be out of pocket, provided you have:
- A valid Medicare card
- A referral from a GP or specialist
At SmartCare Diagnostics, we aim to provide affordable, accessible medical testing. That’s why we bulk bill most of our core services and handle all the claiming for you.
If you have cost-related questions, just ask our admin team. We’re happy to explain what’s included and how to claim.
Services We Offer – Bulk Billed for Eligible Patients
Our diagnostic services support your doctor in diagnosing, monitoring, or ruling out a range of conditions. Services available include:
Echocardiogram
An ultrasound of the heart to check structure and function. Commonly used to investigate heart murmurs, valve problems, or heart failure.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
A fast test that records your heart’s electrical signals. Helpful for detecting arrhythmias, monitoring medication, or checking overall heart rhythm.
Holter Monitor
A small wearable device that tracks your heart activity over 24 to 48 hours. Ideal for intermittent palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained chest symptoms.
Lung Function Test
Also known as spirometry, this test measures how well your lungs move air in and out. It helps diagnose asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions.
Sleep Study Test
A convenient at-home sleep test to assess for sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Bulk billed and doesn’t require an overnight hospital stay.
These tests are reviewed by experienced clinicians, and results are sent directly to your referring doctor for fast follow-up.
