Since diabetes can cause circulation problems and nerve damage, as well as other conditions that can affect the feet, some people with diabetes will want special diabetic shoes or orthotic inserts created especially for their condition. Medicare has a Diabetic Shoe Program that will cover the cost of one pair of therapeutic shoes (diabetic shoes) and inserts for people with diabetes if there is a medical necessity for them.
Livingston Foot Care Specialists serving Nassau County Long Island participates in the Medicare program for the diabetic patients requiring these high quality shoes with custom made orthotic inserts to protect the feet of the diabetic patient.
