How to refer

A referral is helpful but not necessary for treatment. Patients are able to pay privately for all treatments, and we can provide quotations for various treatment options at their initial consultation. Private health insurance claims are available in the clinic using HICAPS. We can also see patients under Workcover and DVA.

Patients referred under TCA from their GP will not be bulk-billed, as we are unable to provide our high level of care at such a reduced fee. The process for Medicare Rebate claiming has been updated and can be viewed here https://www.pioneerpodiatry.com.au/medicare-rebate.
