Other Services We Provide
Will my health fund provide a rebate for my treatment from a podiatrist?
Most health funds offer a rebate for their patients as part of an extras package. The services covered and the values of the rebates are determined by your health fund. It is suggested that patients speak with their health fund prior to obtaining treatment to understand their individual cover. Feetology can provide you with the item codes applicable for your treatment so that you can discuss this with your health fund.
I Have An EPC (Medicare) Referral From My Doctor?
Great - this means that your visit will be subsidised by Medicare. Our standard fees will still be payable, and we will help you to process your Medicare claim so that you recieve your $58 Medicare rebate back in your bank account as quickly as possible.
What is an EPC Referral?
An EPC referral is for people with Chronic Health Conditions. Your Doctor will be able to tell you if you are eligible and arrange the necessary paperwork.
