Medicare and Diabetic Foot Care: What to Know
If you’re on Medicare and managing diabetes, foot health is one of the most important — and most commonly covered — areas of preventive care. Medicare generally covers diabetic foot exams, treatment for foot ulcers and infections, vascular evaluations when medically necessary, and services like hyperbaric oxygen therapy for qualifying chronic wounds.
What’s Typically Included
- Routine diabetic foot exams (often covered at low or no cost with a diabetes diagnosis)
- Treatment of foot ulcers, infections, and non-healing wounds
- Vascular testing and treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for qualifying chronic wounds
- Therapeutic diabetic shoes, in many cases, with a qualifying diagnosis
