As the end of the year approaches, many Australians don’t realise that their private health insurance extras benefits reset on January 1st. If you have cover for podiatry services, now is the time to check your policy and make sure you’re not missing out.
At Leading Edge Podiatry in Blackwood, we often see patients who discover too late that they could have claimed for foot care or custom orthotics — but their benefits expired when the new year started.
Why You Should Use Your Podiatry Benefits Now
Most private health insurance policies operate on a calendar-year basis, meaning your podiatry allowance for consultations and treatments doesn’t carry over. If you don’t use it before December 31st, you lose it.
Using your extras cover now can:
Save you from unnecessary out-of-pocket costs in the new year.
Help prevent foot pain from worsening.
Ensure you start the year on the right foot (literally).
At Leading Edge Podiatry, we encourage you to make the most of your extras cover before it resets. Whether you’ve been dealing with foot pain, require a check-up, or need custom orthotics, using your benefits now can help you avoid out-of-pocket costs later.
