Yes, Emerald Cardiac is a bulk billing practice for referred patients. We provide a range of bulk billed cardiac services.
An echocardiogram, or echo, is an ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create detailed pictures of your heart, helping to assess its size, shape, and function.
A stress echocardiogram involves capturing ultrasound images of your heart at rest and immediately following exercise, typically on a treadmill. The test helps determine how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
A Holter monitor is a portable device worn for 24 or 48 hours, or even up to 30 days, to record your heart’s activity throughout the day and night. This can help diagnose irregular heart rhythms that may not show up at the moment of a typical ECG test.
Our 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring service involves wearing a small device that automatically measures your blood pressure at regular intervals over a full 24-hour period. This provides a comprehensive view of how your blood pressure changes throughout the day and night.
Come with a valid referral from your GP or specialist, and any relevant medical records or lists of current medications. If you’re scheduled for tests that involve physical activity, wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Bring your Medicare card, DVA card, pension card, or private health insurance details if applicable.
