Lack of access to Medicare Rebates for Podiatry nail surgery

Hello, I have been examining the MBS recently and the following questions came to my attention. Why is it that GP’s are able to perform ingrown toenail surgeries in their offices, and receive a Medicare rebate of $176.65 when bulk billing.? Additionally, for measurement of ankle brachial index and associated Doppler assessment of the Tibialis posterior and dorsalis pedis waveforms, GPs are able to claim item 11610 at $54.20 bulk billed.
