How to use private medical insurance for podiatry and what to check with your insurer before booking.
Check your cover before treatment
Private medical insurance policies vary. Before booking, confirm whether podiatry, biomechanics or a particular treatment is covered, whether you need a referral and whether an excess or session limit applies.
Bring your authorisation details
If your insurer requires an authorisation code, policy number or claim reference, have these available before the appointment. This reduces delays and makes billing clearer.
Not every service is covered
Routine foot care and some products or procedures may sit outside a medical insurance policy even when assessment for a musculoskeletal problem is covered. Our team can explain the clinic process, but the insurer makes the final decision about benefits.
