Medicare Diabetic Shoe Program

Do you or someone you know have diabetes? If you are a diabetic, you may be at risk of developing serious foot infections and ulcers that often lead to amputation. In 2000, doctors performed more than 100,000 diabetic amputations. What you may not know is nearly 80% of life altering amputations could have been prevented.

For diabetes, as well as other foot problems, preventive foot care can significantly reduce the risk of complications. Medicare recognizes the importance of preventive foot care. Dr. Cotler is now an authorized provider of the Medicare Diabetic Shoe Program. If you are a diabetic and covered by Medicare, you may be eligible to receive one pair of high quality shoes and three pairs of removable, protective shoe inserts each calendar year. If you qualify for these important products and have supplemental insurance, the balance may be covered, resulting in no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Dr. Cotler has recently added this valuable service to our practice so that we can provide the most comprehensive foot care to our patients. Do not delay. Please schedule a foot exam today so we may evaluate your eligibility for this important benefit.
