Annual Foot Health Check.
Get a step ahead.

Your feet are incredibly important for overall health. Healthy feet not only help ensure you stay pain free and active, they also help prevent conditions such as obesity, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and depression.

Just like regular trips to your dentist, this annual appointment is designed to optimise health and prevent future issues.

If you have Podiatry cover, this appointment also helps ensure you get the most out of your private health fund, as unused rebates expire each year.

Your annual foot health check is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

 

  • One 40 minute Foot Health Check is recommended every 12 months for all Foot Fault’s clients.

  • This appointment is eligible for Private Health Fund Rebates. Your rebate amount depends on your level of cover.

    Foot Faults is a Preferred Provider for Medibank, Bupa and HCF, which means members enjoy bigger rebates +/- discounted fees on their appointments and services.

  • Most Podiatry appointments are not eligible for Medicare rebates.

    If you have an eligible Medicare Referral, it can be used as a part payment.

  • A GP referral is not required for Podiatry appointments.

    If you think you may be eligible for a GP Chronic Disease Referral, please visit your GP prior to your appointment.
