Diabetic Shoes and Inserts Paid by Medicare
Medicare patients are entitled to a pair of extra depth shoes and
three pair of custom molded inserts every calendar year. The Medicare
Therapeutic Footwear Program has been established as a preventive
program to lower the incidence of diabetic foot complications.
Diabetic foot complications are the leading cause of non-traumatic
amputations in the United States. Proper footwear provides the
support and protection that is essential for the patient with diabetes.

The Diabetic Insert
The purpose of the diabetic insert is to provide your foot with the
support and protection needed to relieve pressure points that could
cause hard to heal lesions. These inserts must be molded to the shape
of your foot to make “total contact” and effectively redistribute
pressure. If the insert is not properly molded to achieve total contact
you are not getting the protection you need.
