Foot care
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers podiatrist (foot doctor) foot exams or treatment if you have diabetes-related nerve damage, or need medically necessary treatment for foot injuries or diseases (like hammer toe, bunion deformities, and heel spurs).
Your costs in Original Medicare
- After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay 20% of the Medicare-Approved Amount for medically necessary treatment you get from your doctor.
