With the passage of the Therapeutic Shoe Bill in 1995, Medicare now offers coverage for custom-molded shoes, depth shoes, inserts and shoe modifications for individuals who meet specific requirements. To obtain coverage patients must have physician certification that they meet the requirements, receive a written footwear prescription from a podiatrist or other qualified physician, obtain the footwear from a qualified provider or supplier and file the appropriate claim forms.

Most of P.W. Minor’s currently in stock shoes have received Medicare coding. All new and future shoes will be submitted for coding so that we can constantly meet the needs of our dealers and customers.
