Medicare Coverage for Shoes With the passage of the Therapeutic Shoe Bill, Medicare extended coverage to diabetic patients for therapeutic footwear and shoe inserts, such as the Apex Ambulator "Biomechanical" and "Conform" Footwear, and "Anti-Shox" orthotics.
Therapeutic shoes play an important role in improving the quality of life for those with diabetes.
This protective footwear can help in the fight to prevent the 54,000 diabetic amputations that occur each year.
