SCHEDULE Regulation 3
TABLE OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES
RULES OF INTERPRETATION
(1) In this table:
“Division” means a Division of a Part of the list of services and fees in this table;
“item” means an item in that list;
“Part” means a Part of that list.
(2) A reference in this table by number to an item in the series 795 to 798 (both inclusive) is a reference to the item so numbered in the general medical services table.
In Parts 1 and 3, “report” means a report prepared by a medical practitioner.
In item 793, “group of practitioners” has the same meaning as in subsection 16a (10).
A service specified in this table is a diagnostic imaging service for the purposes of the Act, whether the diagnostic imaging service is rendered by:
(a) a medical practitioner; or
(b) a person, other than a medical practitioner, who is employed by a medical practitioner or, in accordance with accepted medical practice, acts under the supervision of a medical practitioner.
If an item includes the symbol “(NR)”, the item relates to an NR-type diagnostic imaging service.
If an item includes the symbol “(R)”, the item relates to an R-type diagnostic imaging service.
SCHEDULE—continued
If an item includes the symbol “(S)”, the item relates to the service specified in the item when rendered by a specialist in the practice of the specialty of diagnostic radiology.
If an item includes the symbol “(HR)”, the item relates to the service specified in the item when rendered with the use of magnetic resonance imaging equipment of a recognised hospital or a radiology unit included in a prescribed class of radiology units.
For the purposes of rule 8, each of the following classes of radiology units is a prescribed class of radiology units:
(a) radiology units operated by the Commonwealth;
(b) radiology units operated by a State or an authority of a State;
(c) radiology units operated by the Northern Territory;
(d) radiology units operated by the Australian Capital Territory;
(e) radiology units operated by Australian tertiary education institutions.
If an item includes a symbol in parentheses consisting of the letters “AU” followed by a number, that symbol refers to an item in Part 3 of the general medical services table in respect of the administration of an anaesthetic in connection with the diagnostic imaging service to which the firstmentioned item relates, being:
(a) if the anaesthetic is administered by a medical practitioner other than a specialist anaesthetist—the relevant item in Division 1 of Part 3 of that table; or
(b) if the anaesthetic is administered by a specialist anaesthetist—the relevant item in Division 2 of Part 3 of that table.
If an item includes the symbol “(C)”, the item relates to a service specified in the item when rendered with the use of a radioisotope imaging scanner at a nuclear medicine unit that has computerised processing facilities capable of being used in the rendering of the service.
If an item includes the symbol “(NC)”, the item relates to a service specified in the item when rendered with the use of a radioisotope imaging scanner at a nuclear medicine unit other than a nuclear medicine unit that has computerised processing facilities capable of being used in the rendering of the service.
A reference in item 2455 to an amount under this rule is a reference to an amount equal to the sum of:
SCHEDULE—continued
(a) the fee set out in the item relating to the service (being a service in Part 2) in conjunction with which the service referred to in item 2455 is performed; and
(b) $108.00.

(a) in the case of item 2732—$19.80; or
(b) in the case of item 2782—$21.00; or
(c) in the case of item 2798—$12.60.
A nuclear scanning service to which an item in Part 5 relates is a medical service for the purposes of the Act only if the preliminary examination of the patient, the estimation and administration of the dosage and performance of the scan are undertaken by a medical practitioner, or on behalf of a medical practitioner in the practitioner’s presence, and the compilation of the final report is undertaken by the medical practioner.
A reference in item 8748 or 8749 to an amount under this rule is a reference to an amount equal to the sum of the fee set out in the item relating to the service (being a service in Part 5), in conjunction with which the service referred to in item 8748 or 8749 is performed and:
