Fibroscans are performed at the Patient Management Services Outpatient Clinic, Level 4, Support Building (Building 1), Auckland City Hospital. They require a referral from a medical practitioner (a specialist or GP) which should be emailed to the Central Referrals office on centralreferrals@adhb.govt.nz.

Fibroscans are available for non-residents: cost $269.45 (includes GST).  Payment must be made prior to the Fibroscan. This can be done by visiting the Cashier's office, behind Level 5 Reception Desk at Auckland City Hospital just prior to the fibroscan appointment.  Patients, if in doubt about eligibility, are advised to bring along their passport/birth certificate and/or any permits they have.
