Rebates

Private health insurance	Medicare
Private health insurance rebates are applicable for those that have podiatry on their policy. If you’re unsure, please check directly with your health insurer. Bring your membership card for an on-the-spot rebate, and only pay the gap. Many insurance providers now have a digital card that you can download and store on your phone. If you forget your membership card, we can provide you with an itemised tax receipt for you to lodge a claim yourself. Most insurers have an app that makes this process simple, with the rebate going back into your nominated bank account.	The only medicare rebate for podiatry is via an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan referral, organised by your GP. If you’re unsure of your eligibility, please discuss it with your GP. Consultations are payable up front, we can then process your medicare refund on-the-spot. Currently the medicare rebate is $58 per consultation. Please note; we cannot claim both a medicare rebate and a private health insurance rebate on the same consultation. It must be one or the other.
