Do I need to see a podiatrist to get diabetic shoes on Medicare?
Not exactly. A podiatrist, orthotist, prosthetist, or pedorthist must fit and dispense the shoes. But any physician managing your diabetes (PCP, endocrinologist, internist) can certify the medical need. We connect you with the right providers.
