More than 75% of patients with diabetes that are fit with shoes covered by Medicare are only fit one year and not the next. Despite the American Diabetes Association recommending that patients be evaluated annually to determine their level of ulcerative risk, and the annual coverage that offers podiatrists very reasonable reimbursement, patients are still not receiving the attention they deserve. SafeStep has created a brochure for podiatrists to give to patients with Medicare and diabetes when scheduling an annual Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Exam.  The brochure explains to patients the importance of the annual exam as well as qualifications for shoes under the Therapeutic Shoe Program.
