Maximise Your Health Fund Benefits with Absolute Footcare
At Absolute Footcare, we welcome all major health funds and help you get the most out of your Podiatry and orthotics cover.
If you have extras cover with your private health insurance, you may be able to claim rebates for podiatry services and custom orthotics.
Are You Covered for Podiatry & Orthotics?
Most private health funds include Podiatry and orthotics under their extras cover.
This means you can claim rebates for consultations, foot treatments and prescription orthotics.
Extras cover typically includes:
- Podiatry treatments (skin, nail & foot pain care)
- Orthotics (custom prescription orthoses)
Our friendly team can guide you through your level of cover and ensure you get the best possible rebate at your appointment.
On-the-Spot Health Fund Claims
We make claiming easy with HICAPS instant claiming. Simply bring your health fund card and:
- We process your claim on the spot
- You only pay the gap (if any)
- Many patients enjoy low or even no out-of-pocket costs
This saves you the hassle of lodging claims with your health fund later.
Special Offers for Health Fund Members
We want you to get the maximum value from your membership, so we provide:
- Low or No Gap Orthotics (depending on your fund & cover)
- Discounts on podiatry products
- Exclusive discounts on footwear from trusted brands like Asics, Birkenstock, Archies & Ecco
How Much Can You Claim?
Your rebate depends on:
- Your health fund provider
- Your level of extras cover
- Whether you’ve reached your annual limit
- Any waiting periods or prior claims
Your Podiatrist can guide you during your appointment or you can contact your health fund directly to confirm your entitlements.
