In Australia, Podiatrists have referral rights for x-ray and ultrasound examinations so that patients are entitled to a Medicare rebate from their choice of medical imaging provider. These scans are requested frequently by our team at Kingsway Podiatry and assist in our commitment to establishing a correct diagnosis.
We can also refer for ultrasound guided steroid injections and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) through private medical imaging providers at competitive private rates.
Please ask one of our experienced Podiatrists at your appointment if you would like more information about whether such a referral might be appropriate for you.
