Hello all: Has anyone had a problem getting Medicare to pay for custom diabetic shoes? We have someone with diabetic neuropathy who we provided with custom shoes. He has Medicare part B and a secondary. It was denied because the items are not covered under the patient's plan. What are we missing? I have had a problem with Medicare not paying A5503 and A5507, but never A5501. We have a CMN on file from the MD who is treating the diabetes. I will post the replies. Thank you all, Paula Martinek, LPO
