Get the most out of your health fund
If you have Podiatry cover with your health fund we can help you get the most from your annual rebate*.
ARE YOU COVERED FOR PODIATRY OR ORTHOTICS?
Podiatry and Orthotics are usually covered by private health insurance with extras cover.
WHAT ARE ‘EXTRAS’?
Most health funds offer ‘hospital’ and ‘extras’ cover. The ‘extras’ cover is for non-hospital treatments including Podiatry, Orthotics, Dental, Physiotherapy and Optical.
Extras with Podiatry cover allows you to claim for Podiatry and Orthotics.
Each health fund is different and our team will help you get the best value from your health fund claim.
CLAIM YOUR BENEFITS ON THE SPOT
We can claim your benefits on the spot for most health funds, so all you need to pay is the difference.
This means you may have low (or sometimes no) out of pocket expenses. Claiming on the spot at Absolute Footcare saves you the hassle of lodging a claim with your health fund.
Just bring your health fund card to your appointment and our friendly team can help you with your claim.
We also offer a great range of discounts for over 25 health fund members.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU CLAIM?
How much you can claim depends on which health fund you are with, your level of cover and any waiting periods or prior claims that you have had.
Your Podiatrist will advise you of your cover at your appointment or you can visit one of our clinics or speak with your health fund.

WHEN DO YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS RENEW?

If you are not sure when your benefits renew please contact your health fund or visit one of our friendly clinics.
