Private health insurance funds typically offer cover for podiatry. The billing for the prescribing and manufacture of orthotics for example is broken down into the different components, offering a transparent view of all the costs and allowing you to assess how much your private health insurance plan will cover.
Rebates are available for most treatment interventions in the field of podiatry, including routine nail and callus care. Ingrown toenail treatments can also be covered including surgery, should it be required.
An important point to remember is that private health insurance funds typically work on a yearly basis, with covers being reset after the end of each calendar year. If you are contemplating a visit to a podiatrist, this is a good time to make your appointment with one of our podiatrists at Sydney’s Bio Allied Health. You can have the benefits you are entitled to now and, if needed, continue with your treatment early next year.
