The cost of orthotics can vary considerably depending on the type, and there are differences in available rebates depending on your level of health fund cover.
At Entire Podiatry, we understand that there are many factors that may affect your decision about purchasing orthotics to suit your needs, and we aim to provide you with as much information as possible to best support your decision-making. With that in mind, it’s important to emphasise that 3D custom orthotics are the most accurate and effective at achieving improved foot function.
The following cost information is provided as a general guide, however you will need to see your Podiatrist for a more precise quote.
Custom foot orthotics cost in the range of $800 to $900. This includes consultation fees, biomechanical assessment, 3D laser scanning, orthotic prescription, initial fitting and 4-week review fitting including minor adjustments, with a Triple Guarantee.
CFA orthotics are a mid-range option, and cost in the range of $500 to $600. This includes consultation fees, biomechanical assessment, orthotic prescription, initial fitting and 4-week review fitting including minor adjustments.
Heat mouldable orthotics are a lower cost option, and cost in the range of $300 to $400. This includes consultation fees, orthotic prescription, initial fitting and 4-week review fitting including minor adjustments. A biomechanical assessment is not provided with heat mouldable orthotics as the level of customisation is limited.
Another option that we offer at Entire Podiatry is the minor adjustment of off-the-shelf orthotics. Off-the-shelf orthotics are available from pharmacies and other healthcare stores, and these can often be purchased for less than $100. Although these orthotics are not at all customised to suit your individual foot, at Entire Podiatry we may be able to make minor adjustments to off-the-shelf orthotics to better suit your foot.
If you have private health insurance, you can contact us for more information about relevant item numbers, in order to check what health rebates may be available to you.
