Is podiatry covered by Medicare?

Not routinely. Medicare covers a limited number of allied health sessions through a GP care plan for chronic conditions, which can include podiatry for eligible patients, and diabetes care plans are the most common route.

What does a podiatry appointment cost?

An initial appointment costs more than a standard review because it includes assessment. Ask about the gap after any private health rebate and about the cost of any orthotics separately.

How much do custom orthotics cost?

Custom orthotics are a significant cost on top of the consultation and are not always necessary. Ask what the assessment found, and whether an off-the-shelf option would address it, before committing.

Do I need a referral?

No for a private appointment. Yes for Medicare-subsidised sessions, workers compensation or a third-party claim.
