Do I Need a Referral?
A referral is not required to see a podiatrist. But if your doctor has prepared a care plan including podiatry, you are eligible for a rebate of $53.80 from Medicare which we can pay directly to a cheque or savings account with a debit card if you also bring your EPC form and Medicare card.
What Should I Bring?
Please bring any scans or x-rays you have that are relavent to your condition. Please also bring the most commonly worn pairs of shoes (several pairs if needed).
