We would like to let all our diabetic patients who are insured through Medicare or a Medicare supported program know that the requirements for diabetic foot care are becoming a little stricter. In order for you to be qualified for diabetic foot care, you must meet certain criteria beyond just being diabetic. This has always been the case, and we follow this requirement closely. If you are currently receiving these services, you have been evaluated and qualify. However, we must now have the EXACT date you last saw the physician managing your diabetes (primary care doctor, endocrinologist ect). Medicare requires that you have been seen by that doctor no longer than six months prior to your foot care date to qualify. Previously the approximate time in the month would suffice. Now Medicare requires we submit the exact date, or they will reject your claim. Please have this information available for us when you arrive for your next diabetic foot care appointment.
