New MRI MBS Item Numbers

From 1st January 2006 the HIC has introduced a MRI MBS item number for hepatobiliary disease. Referral for this procedure needs to be from a specialist gastroenterologist or specialist surgeon. This item number covers suspected biliary or pancreatic pathology, which includes MRCP. Although not covering specific liver imaging, it does include any other suspected pancreatic disease or hepatic disease which has a biliary component.
