ORTHOPEDIC FOOTWEAR and Extra Depth footwear
If you experience pain and discomfort in your feet, you can take many different steps to get relief. Depending on the type of foot issues you have, some may be more appropriate for treating your symptoms so that you can get back to your routine. The most common treatments for foot and gait problems are orthopedic footwear. These specialty footwear can treat foot problems like hammertoe, plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, and diabetic feet.
Even when an insurance policy has orthopedic footwear coverage, they may only cover certain brands or types of shoes. Additionally, footwear deemed acceptable by one insurance company may not be accepted by another. Submitting a quote to your insurance company is the most reliable way to get an answer regarding footwear coverage.
