Dear Emily,

Thank you very much for the information.
Am I able to ask a further question in regards to the average cost per PET scan ($1200).
Only as it is the lowest rate I have seen by far, which is great - it would be good to know the reasoning behind it?

Yours sincerely,
Sacha

My apologies for the delay on responding.
I have investigated this and as it turns out, there has been an error in our calculations and the total cost to our DHB for a PET scan is actually $2,145 +GST.
Very sorry for the error.
