If you’re living with diabetes, proper foot care isn’t just important; it’s essential. One of the most effective ways to protect your feet is by wearing diabetic shoes! Medicare-covered diabetic shoes are made to reduce the risk of ulcers, infections, and serious foot complications. At Hudson Pharmacy & Surgical, we’re proud to serve the Tri-State area with expert-fitting diabetic footwear.

Here’s what you need to know about Medicare eligibility, and how Hudson can help.

Why Diabetic Shoes Matter

Diabetes can lead to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, increasing the risk of foot injuries and infections. Diabetic shoes are designed to:

  • Minimize pressure points
  • Prevent skin breakdown
  • Accommodate foot deformities
  • Improve balance and stability

Hudson offers a wide selection of Dr. Comfort, Anodyne, and Propet ® shoes for both men and women, ensuring comfort, protection, and style.

Medicare Coverage for Diabetic Shoes

Medicare Part B may cover one pair of diabetic shoes and up to three pairs of inserts per calendar year if you meet certain criteria. This benefit includes:

  • Extra-depth or custom-molded shoes
  • Custom inserts
  • Professional fitting and follow-up

Hudson is an approved Medicare supplier and can help you navigate the process from start to finish.
