How it works
Funding questions.
Do I need a referral?
Not for a private appointment. A referral or care plan is only needed for certain pathways, such as DVA or a Medicare care plan arranged by your GP.
How does Medicare bulk-billing work?
If you are managing a chronic condition, your GP can prepare a Chronic Disease Management (CDM/EPC) care plan. This can cover a number of bulk-billed allied health visits each year, including podiatry. Medicare bulk-billing applies to appointments at the Harrington Park clinic only, not to home visits. Speak to your GP about whether a care plan is right for you.
How do I use my DVA cover?
DVA Gold Card holders, and White Card holders with podiatry cover, can be seen with a valid referral from their GP. Madleen bills DVA directly, so there is nothing for you to pay.
How does NDIS work?
If foot care is included in your plan, Madleen can see you whether you are self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed. She will confirm the details before your first appointment, subject to your funding and NDIS requirements.
Which funding can I use for a home visit?
Home visits are available to private patients, DVA and NDIS participants, WorkCover clients and private health fund members. Medicare bulk-billing is not available for home visits; it applies to appointments at the Harrington Park clinic only.
How does WorkCover work?
If your foot or lower-limb problem is related to a workplace injury, Madleen can assess and treat you under an approved claim. Bring your claim number and insurer details, and she will confirm approval before your appointment.
Can I claim on my private health fund?
Yes, if you have extras cover that includes podiatry. We can help you claim on the day.
