[QUOTE="bigblueagain, post: 4276, member: 909"] the best way to find out is to call your insurance company and ask. The reason I say this, is that all of the companies that I worked for, 2 hmo's, 1 ppo and 1 indemnity company, the ONLY covered shoes were for diabetics. That was because it was a better thing to keep their feet healthy than to pay for hospitalization due to non healing sores. The only way shoe inserts(orthotics) were covered was if they were prescribed by a physician and used in conjunction WITH physical therapy. Some don't cover them at all unless used with braces. hope this helps. This is sort of the same reason insurers don't cover formula or tube feeding supplies........shoes and food are EXPECTED expenses that everyone has. Just because the shoes or inserts or feedings may be more expensive sort is the same as someone who decides they want Manolo Bahlik shoes instead of Hush Puppies....their choice on something they have to have anyway.
