Most patients do get a rebate for orthotics, but this depends on your health fund and your level of cover. It is worth checking with your health fund to clear all doubts before you visit footinjuryclinic. In most cases health funds allow one pair of orthotics, per person, per year.

In Australia, podiatry is considered an allied health profession. Medicare rebates are generally not available for visits to the podiatrist. Medicare will cover treatment for those with chronic medical conditions (such as diabetes and chronic arthritis) under the Chronic Disease Management Scheme (CDM). The CDM is a government incentive which allows individuals with a chronic medical illness or condition to receive Medicare rebates for a maximum of five allied health services each calendar year. A chronic medical condition is one that has been present for six months or longer, e.g. musculoskeletal conditions. Your GP will prepare  a Enhance Primary Care (EPC) and refer you to an allied practitioner such as footinjuryclinic if you qualify for treatment.

If you have the appropriate level of private health insurance cover, you will receive a rebate for your podiatry consultation. We can claim most rebates on the spot for you through TYRO. To do so, we will need to swipe your health insurance card, so make sure you bring this with you to every consultation. If you need to know what the rebate will be before your consultation, contact your health fund directly to find out from them. All you need to pay is the ‘gap’. Alternatively, we can give a receipt and you can claim directly through your health fund.
