GP care-plan fees (Medicare GPCCMP)

Do you bulk bill Medicare podiatry appointments?
We charge the consultation fees shown above rather than bulk billing our care-plan appointments. You pay the full fee at your visit; the eligible Medicare rebate returns separately. The table shows your cost after the rebate.
Does paying for an assessment commit me to treatment?
No. The consultation fee pays for the consultation—not an obligation to buy orthotics or further treatment. Advice, monitoring or reviewing an existing device may be appropriate. Already have orthotics that are uncomfortable?
If avoiding an out-of-pocket cost is your priority, ask prospective providers whether they bulk bill your eligible visit. That may be the right option for you. Six questions worth asking any clinic · What to compare when choosing podiatry care.
Cancellations: give at least 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellation or non-attendance may incur up to the consultation fee. Illness or genuine emergencies are exempt; let us know. cancellation terms
Funding pathways
Funding can take some working through. Tell us which scheme you use when booking, and we’ll help clarify eligibility, referral requirements and costs before care begins.
Private health & HICAPS podiatry claims
HICAPS is available for eligible same-visit claims. The clinic participates in Bupa Members First and HCF More for Feet. Benefits depend on your cover, item eligibility and annual limits; check with your fund before treatment.
Medicare care plan podiatry (GPCCMP)
Bring a valid GP Chronic Condition Management Plan referral and Medicare card. Your GP determines eligibility; annual service limits apply. See the payment steps and rebate table above.
Other funding arrangements
DVA-funded podiatry
We accept Veteran Gold Card and eligible Veteran White Card holders with a valid DVA referral. Coverage depends on your entitlement and referral; contact us before booking to confirm the arrangement.
NDIS podiatry (plan-managed & self-managed)
We accept eligible plan-managed and self-managed participants. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we can’t accept NDIA-managed (agency-managed) funding. Share your plan manager’s details so we can agree the budget and invoicing with you before treatment.
Workers compensation, CTP & insurer-funded podiatry
Workers compensation and CTP Green Slip (motor vehicle accident) podiatry claims need the insurer’s prior written approval before your first visit, and the claim’s requirements apply. The approved first consultation is 1 hour (longer than our standard 30 minutes), and costs are agreed with the insurer beforehand.
Ask your Claims Adviser or Case Manager to send the approval, your claim number and their contact details through our referral process; we coordinate approved costs, paperwork and reports. Workers compensation and CTP referral requirements.
