Q.Can Podiatry be Bulk Billed?

In order to receive a Medicare rebate for podiatry services, you need to obtain a valid referral for podiatry from your doctor, as part of a GP Management Plan (GPMP) under Team Care Arrangements (TCAs).

This generally put in place if your GP identifies that you have a chronic medical condition or complex care needs, in which case you may benefit from having one of these plans in place)

The Medicare rebate applies only to the consultation fee, and any additional services will incur an out-of-pocket expense. For example, orthotic manufacture/modifications and any minor surgical procedures that may be recommended by your Podiatrist are not covered by Medicare.
