Do You Have Any Questions ?
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
No referral is needed for private patients. If you’re claiming under Medicare (CDM plan), a GP referral is required.
Does Medicare cover podiatry appointments?
A referral in Australia is more often referred to as an EPC (Enhanced primary care
plan) not a CDM + we can process your claim for a Medicare rebate in clinic – Leave
out the “on the spot” as we prefer to do the overnight claiming its easier for us
Do you accept private health insurance?
Yes! We have HICAPS available for on-the-spot claims. You’ll just need to pay the gap.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring the following:
– Referral (if applicable)
– Any scans or test results
– Medicare or health fund card
– The shoes you wear regularly
– List of current medications
