To help people care for their feet, Medicare Part B and Insurance offers coverage for therapeutic shoes & inserts for those who qualify.
What is the Medicare Part B and Insurance Diabetic Footwear benefit?
Insurance partially covers the approved cost of medically-necessary shoes or inserts. Patients may qualify for one of the following benefits:
1. One pair of depth-inlay shoes and three pairs of inserts every calendar year.
2. One pair of custom-molded shoes, including inserts, and two additional inserts for patients who cannot wear depth-inlay shoes due to a foot deformity.
3. Separate inserts or shoe modifications for some patients with milder foot problems
Medicare pays 80 percent of the approved cost for footwear and the full cost of fitting the shoes .. The patient is responsible for the remaining 20 percent of the cost as well as any applicable deductible. Secondary insurance may assist with copayment or deductible.
