The 26-year-old had $4329.25 refunded by Medicare from a claim amount of $5900.
For that he pleaded guilty to obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
But Walker also pleaded guilty over an incident where he willingly went for a ride in a stolen car on a short journey at Rand.
He was charged with being carried in a conveyance taken without consent of owner and deal with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime.
The court was told how a man parked his station wagon next to his house on a rural property on Northcote Road, Rand, on December 16 about 6pm.
By 3am the next day, the car had been stolen.
Police said the car was driven to a nearby farm on Elliots Road
The property owner was woken by a noise, saw headlights, went outside and after entering the garage was punched in the mouth by Walker's co-accused.
The pair knew each other.
After the two men - with a woman in the back seat - drove off, the man found two child car seats, a pram and an engine cover that had been in the station wagon left dumped on the ground.
Walker will be sentenced, via a video link, on September 24.
