Most insurance plans do not require a referral to see a podiatrist. However, some HMO plans may require one. Check with your insurance provider if you’re unsure. You can also call our office and we’ll help verify whether a referral is needed for your plan.
Look for board certification (DABPM or DABFAS), which indicates advanced training and examination. Consider the doctor’s experience with your specific condition, the convenience of office locations, and patient reviews. A good podiatrist should listen to your concerns, explain your condition clearly, and involve you in treatment decisions.
Most health insurance plans cover podiatry services, including Medicare and Medicaid. Coverage varies by plan and condition being treated. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your benefits. Our staff can also help you understand your coverage when you schedule an appointment.
Both can treat foot and ankle problems, but their training differs. Podiatrists (DPM) focus exclusively on the foot and ankle throughout their education. Orthopedic surgeons (MD or DO) train broadly in musculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. For foot and ankle issues specifically, podiatrists often have more specialized experience.
See a podiatrist when you have persistent foot or ankle pain, a visible deformity, difficulty walking, recurring infections, or diabetic foot concerns. While your primary care doctor can address general foot issues, podiatrists have specialized training and equipment to diagnose and treat complex conditions more effectively.
