Podiatry Experts in Singapore

To consult with a podiatrist in a private practice, no referral is necessary. However, it’s advised to verify the requirements of your personal health insurance, as certain policies may necessitate a referral for insurance claims.

If you possess a doctor or professional referral, kindly inform our staff when scheduling your appointment, and remember to bring the referral letter with you during your visit. This ensures that we have all the relevant information to provide you with the best possible care, and to also facilitate any necessary insurance processes.

If you possess any scan results, test results or referral notes from your GP or any other healthcare professional, we recommend bringing these documents to your appointment. This is to allow our team to do a comprehensive history review.

Additionally, any relevant footwear such as running shoes, school shoes, cycling shoes, football boots or ski boots can provide valuable insights into your daily activities, and contribute to a more thorough assessment and effective treatment approach.

UFIT Podiatry does not currently offer direct billing services. However, we are recognised by all major insurance providers. Our services operate on a self-pay basis, and patients are required to settle payments directly at the time of service.

For insurance claims, we provide all necessary documentation, and patients can seek reimbursement from their insurance providers according to their policy terms. Feel free to contact us for any additional information or assistance in this process.

Our podiatrists are qualified to perform various surgical procedures on the foot and ankle, including minor nail surgeries for ingrown toenails and plantar wart removals. We specialise in using non-invasive techniques to optimise recovery and ensure patients have minimal downtime so they can get back to doing the things they love quickly.

Sport podiatry plays a crucial role in both the management and prevention of athletic injuries affecting the lower limbs. Through comprehensive biomechanical assessments and gait analysis, podiatrists can identify imbalances or abnormalities that may contribute to injuries or hinder performance.

They offer personalised treatment plans, including custom orthotics, footwear recommendations and targeted exercises, to optimise foot function, enhance stability and facilitate a safe return to sport, ultimately maximising an athlete's potential.

Coverage for podiatry services can vary depending on your specific insurance plan and provider in Singapore. Many insurance policies do offer coverage for medically necessary podiatry treatments, particularly when addressing specific conditions, injuries or chronic illnesses like diabetes.

It's advisable to check directly with your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage, including any referral requirements, co-payments or limitations for consultations, treatments and custom orthotics provided by a podiatry clinic.
