This will enable you to claim a rebate from Medicare towards the cost of your consultation with any of our podiatrists up to a maximum of 5 visits per calendar year. As we are a private billing practice, your account must be paid in full on the day of your appointment and we can generally process your Medicare rebate at the same time.
