Medicare can provide rebates for podiatry services through the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program, now known as the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) program, but only if you have a chronic medical condition (like diabetes or arthritis) and a referral from your GP.
Without this GP referral for a chronic condition, Medicare does not cover podiatry visits.
The primary requirement is a referral from a GP for a chronic health condition.
Medicare generally does not cover routine podiatry care without this specific referral.
