How to Book an Appointment Through Your Insurer
To arrange a private appointment at The Functional Podiatrist using your health insurance, simply follow these steps:
1. Check Your Plan Details:
Start by reviewing your policy to confirm that it includes podiatry services. Coverage varies by plan, so look for information on podiatry assessments, treatments, or custom orthotics.
2. Contact Your Insurance Provider:
Once you know that podiatry is included, call your insurer to get pre-authorisation for the specific service you need. In most cases, your insurer will issue a pre-authorisation or claim number that we’ll need for billing along with how many visits are included.
3. Book with The Functional Podiatrist:
With your pre-authorisation ready, contact our team to schedule an appointment. Please have your insurance membership number, authorisation code, and any relevant details available to ensure a smooth booking process.
