What Is Diabetic Footwear?

Problems with the feet and toes are common complications of diabetes. In fact, diabetes is responsible for over 50% of all foot amputations in the United States. Over time, diabetes can lead to nerve damage, making it difficult to feel foot irritations, soreness, or infections. On top of that, reduced blood flow can lead to wounds that heal slowly.

Are you one of the many Americans impacted by diabetes-related foot complications such as nerve damage, poor circulation, skin changes, calluses, and foot ulcers? If you are a candidate for diabetic footwear, our expert providers can prescribe custom inserts and special diabetic shoes. These are designed to alleviate pressure and prevent the development of painful pressure points, blisters, and sores.

Texas MD Care Footwear will fit and cushion your feet while providing additional support to the ankle, arch, and heel.

If you require diabetic footwear, it’s important to be aware of Medicare’s strict requirements. Generally, Medicare covers up to 80% of these services. Any balance will be sent to your secondary insurance if applicable.

Medicare requires a signature from your PCP or Endocrinologist to verify a recent diabetic check-up (within the past six months). If you see a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, an MD or DO must sign the paperwork.

Medicare requires us to evaluate the fit of your shoes and inserts, so you must come back for a fitting. We ensure your shoes fit properly as you try them out in the office. We’ll also guide you how to carefully break in your brand-new shoes. If there are any issues with the fit, we’ll reorder your shoes and/or inserts. It’s as simple as that!

Key items needed from your podiatrist and MD/DO that manages your diabetes:
