Why foot pain podiatry
matters for your whole body
Foot pain is rarely just a foot problem. When it goes untreated, it changes the way you walk and puts strain on your knees, hips, and back. Over time, that increases your risk of falling and losing the independence you worked hard to keep.
For people with diabetes nerve damage can make it easy to miss small cuts or wounds until they become serious complications.
Regular podiatry care helps you stay active, catch problems early, and stay in control of your health. At pod health, our podiatrist is part of your care team, so your foot health is never treated in isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions about podiatry
Still have questions? You’re not alone. Here are some of the most common things people ask us. If you don’t see your question here, we’re happy to talk.
What is a podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Podiatrists treat problems ranging from nail conditions and heel pain to diabetic foot complications and structural deformities. At pod health, our podiatrist works as part of your full care team, not as a replacement for your provider.
Do you need a referral to see a podiatrist?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a podiatrist. Medicare part B typically allows you to see a podiatrist directly when the visit is medically necessary. If you are a pod health patient, your care team can help coordinate your podiatry appointment, but you can also call us directly to get started.
Does Medicare cover podiatry?
Medicare part B covers medically necessary podiatry services, which can include patients with thickened mycotic nails causing pain or qualifying conditions such as peripheral neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease. Routine nail trimming without a medical condition is generally not covered. Most pod health patients pay little to no out-of-pocket costs. Call us to check your eligibility in about five minutes.
How often can you see a podiatrist on Medicare?
For patients with qualifying conditions such as diabetes with peripheral neuropathy, medicare typically covers routine foot care every 60 days or more. Other medically necessary podiatry visits may be covered more frequently depending on your condition. Pod health can help you understand your specific coverage when you call to check eligibility.

What our patients are saying
I didn’t even know I was missing benefits until Pod called. They helped me set up home care and got my Medicaid paperwork sorted. I didn’t have to do a thing. They really looked out for me.

I was trying to help my mom get care, but it was so confusing. Pod walked me through everything in plain English and followed up until she had services at home. I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without them.

Hablaron mi idioma, me ayudaron con los formularios y me llamaron cuando dijeron que lo harían. Eso importa.
