         What You Can Do

        ✅ Schedule your diabetes foot exam with your doctor at least once a year
        ✅ Make sure your foot condition is clearly documented
        ✅ Confirm that your doctor and supplier communicate to complete the forms
        ✅ Keep a copy of your signed certification and prescription for your records

        Key Takeaway

        Medicare will cover diabetic shoes and inserts if:
        You have diabetes + a qualifying foot condition, and your doctor properly documents and certifies your need.

        Proper documentation = covered shoes and protected feet. 💙
