Radiologists say the proposed Medicare rebates for the upcoming National Lung Cancer Screening Program, which will be mandatory to bulk-bill, are around $100 too low.
The program starting in July 2025 will involve GPs identifying eligible patients based on smoking history and referring them for low-dose chest CT.
