The Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Bill was enacted by Congress in
order to provide proper footwear and inserts for people with
diabetes who qualify under Medicare Part B. The program was
designed to prevent lower limb ulcers, amputations, and other
complications in people who suffer from the disease. Eligible
patients qualify for one pair of shoes, plus extra pairs of inserts
and/or shoe modifications for each calendar year.
