Diabetic shoes are specially constructed to protect your feet,
and they're also "extra-depth" to accommodate special inserts
which are custom-made. Special features and materials combine to
provide your feet with extra protection they need. Diabetics are prone to
getting infections and ulcerations; these shoes help prevent these problems
and many more. Medicare has shown that by providing proper footwear to
patients with diabetes, the amount of amputations for these same patients
in the United States has decreased by 85%.
Medicare plus secondary insurance will pay 100% for one pair
of diabetic shoes and three pairs of custom inserts per calendar
year. The inserts are made of a soft spongy material which only lasts for
a few months.
Our office carries the #1 diabetic shoes in the country. Please visit these
websites: www.DoctorComfort.com or www.anodyneshoes.com,
and you will see hundreds of shoes from which to choose.
In order to qualify for this program you must first make an
appointment and come into our office for an examination. We
will perform a digital scan of your feet and also measure your feet. Your
order is then sent electronically and your new shoes will arrive in about
three weeks.
