Podiatry is generally not covered by Medicare – with the exception of individuals under a GP management plan for Chronic Diseases. Eligibility to participate in this program is determined by your GP and requires the presence of a chronic and complex medical condition that is managed by your GP in conjunction with a team of health professionals. These consultations are charged to you at our normal fee and you can then claim your rebate from Medicare (we do have electronic claiming that allows Medicare to pay directly into your bank account).
