Before Your Appointment – Important Information

To ensure your appointment is covered by Bupa:

  • Contact Bupa first to confirm your policy includes podiatry and to get pre-authorisation for the correct procedure codes (see list below).

  • Check that your appointment is with a Bupa-registered podiatrist and that they are a named provider on your policy.

  • If you attend without authorisation, or see a non-registered podiatrist or physiotherapist, you will need to pay our self-pay rates.

  • If your Bupa policy has an excess, Bupa will notify you when it’s due. We will invoice you directly for any excess amount.

  • Some services are not covered — please check the exclusions list below.
