“I’m trying to determine the coverage of diabetic shoes for a patient who has had one foot/leg amputated. Somewhere in my brain I seem to remember that Medicare will cover a pair of shoes so the amputee can wear the shoe on his prosthetic. Does this also apply to heat moldable inserts? Can we dispense them for the shoe that will be used on the prosthetic leg? I would appreciate any thoughts on this situation. I have read the LCD and associated article but can’t seem to fully understand how this works.”
