Questions about seeing a podiatrist

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No referral is needed to see a podiatrist privately. Book online or by phone. Medicare, DVA and WorkCover claims do need a referral, so bring yours if your GP has given you one.

How much does a podiatrist cost in Narre Warren?

An initial consultation is from $100, with $10 off when you book online. A standard consultation is from $90. Ingrown toenail surgery is from $450 for one toe with the follow-up visit included, and each extra toe adds $50. Custom orthotics are from $650, including the biomechanical assessment, fitting and a review. See all fees and rebates.

Can I claim podiatry on Medicare?

Yes, with a GP chronic condition management plan (GPCCMP). Your GP prepares or reviews the plan within the last 18 months and refers you. The plan covers up to 5 rebated allied health visits per calendar year in total, shared across every allied health service you use. Each podiatry visit runs at least 20 minutes under Medicare item 10962, and the Medicare benefit is $63.40 per visit. Plans made before 1 July 2025 still work until 30 June 2027.

Can I use my health fund on the day?

Yes. HICAPS is on site, so your private health fund rebate comes off on the spot. How much you get back depends on your fund and your level of extras cover.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring any X-ray or ultrasound reports for your feet or ankles, the shoes you wear most and a referral if you have one. WorkCover and TAC patients need their claim number and paperwork, and WorkCover needs a current GP referral.
