Medicare Part B coverage for Diabetic Shoes
Diabetic Shoes are covered under Medicare Part B as durable medical equipment (DME) when medically necessary. Coverage requires: a diabetes diagnosis, a prescription from your treating physician, and the supplies must be obtained from a Medicare-enrolled DMEPOS supplier.
With Original Medicare plus a supplemental plan, most patients pay $0 out of pocket for covered Diabetic Shoes. Even without a supplemental plan, Part B pays 80% of the Medicare-approved amount — significantly below retail pricing.
