Not sure where you are based but give these guys a call and they'll be able to tell you.

Some places give scan's on Medicare. Book in as a public patient and it should be free. Especially if it is surgery needed urgently.If not get on the list.
Your Dr should be able to tell you the places that do not charge for scan's and should tick the bulk billing box on referral.
