What services do you provide?
We provide treatment for most conditions below the knee. Our practice is mainly focused on diabetic foot care and comprehensive wound care below the knee.

These services are provided in the office or at home for those who are homebound or home limited.

You do not need a referral for an office appointment unless required by your insurance company, such as an HMO policy.
Do I need a referral to be seen in my home?

Do you provide services to assisted living facilities and independent living facilities?
Yes. We can see patients in any of these facilities either on an individual basis, or we contract we many facilities to provide regular ongoing podiatry services to their residents.

We are participating providers with Medicare.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Yes, we accept traditional Medicaid policies.
What other insurance plans do you accept?
We are providers for Medicare, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Humana, Sagamore and others. We are out of network providers for Blue Cross Blue Shield. You are welcome to contact our office and we will be happy to answer any insurance questions. However, because there are so many different policies, it is always best to contact your insurance provider to make sure you are covered under your particular policy.
Will my insurance cover the entire cost of a home visit?
Possibly. If you qualify as homebound or home limited and your policy covers podiatry services, then generally coverage is similar to an office visit. As with any doctor’s visit, you are still responsible for your co-pay and any deductible amount. If you have a secondary insurance it may cover the remaining costs not paid for by your primary insurance provider. We encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to find out what your specific policy covers. If you do not have insurance, please contact our office to inquire about private pay pricing.
I need my toenails cut, is this a covered service?
Medicare and most other insurance plans do not cover routine foot care except in certain circumstances. Routine foot care is the treatment of long toenails, corns & calluses and dry skin. It is covered for those who have a systemic diagnosis that could put the patient at risk for infection or other complications if not done by a podiatrist. Some of these systemic diseases include diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy and several others. Please feel free to call our office with any questions regarding coverage for you.
Do you offer diabetic shoes to your patients?
Yes. We can assess you in our office or at home to determine if you qualify for diabetic shoes.
