Hi
I am a podiatrist. We are required to notify the patients M.D that we find the pt has some of the following, neuropathy,poor circulation ,hx of amputation, corns and callus. All of which predispose pts to amputation, charcot foot ect. Medicare wants confirmation from the MD that the patient is under the care of the md and has DM.
Most of us have sample shoes and oder on line for the patient. This makes it easier for the pt and makes us some money
