About Diabetic Inserts & Orthotics and Medicare coverage
Diabetic shoe inserts (HCPCS A5512) are covered by Medicare Part B at three pairs per year when ordered as part of the therapeutic shoe benefit. Inserts redistribute plantar pressure away from high-risk areas — the ball of the foot, the heel, and bony prominences associated with Charcot foot. Multi-density inserts (soft top layer over firm arch) are generally preferred for neuropathic patients. Custom-molded inserts require a casting impression and take 10-14 days; prefabricated inserts are available same-day.
"I'm a veteran and was confused about whether VA or Medicare covered my supplies. They sorted it out with one call and billed the right payer. That alone was worth it."
