Your Deductible Resets January 1st. Here's What That Means for Your Feet
Year End Orthotic Coverage
Most insurance plans run on the calendar year and cover procedures and billing completed before December 31. By this point in the year, many patients have already met their deductible, meaning custom orthotics may be mostly or entirely covered.
If they are around a year old, it's a good time to have them checked. Support can fade before you notice it. At two years or older, it's time to talk about replacing them.
Cary Patients: Tired of Hunting for Street Parking?
Tired of hunting for street parking?
Our Cary office has additional parking in the rear of the building, clearly signed and usually wide open, even when the front looks full.
Something to keep in mind next time you're in for your next visit.
Cold feet, tired legs, or slow healing wounds are easy to blame on age. Often they're early signs of a circulation problem.
For patients with diabetes, circulation and sensation problems often develop together. Reduced feeling means an injury goes unnoticed and reduced blood flow means it heals slowly.
PADNet is a non-invasive test, takes about 30 minutes, and measures the blood flow in your legs and feet which helps identify peripheral arterial disease early.
Screening is recommended for:
Adults 65 and older
Adults 55+ with diabetes, a history of smoking, high cholesterol, taking a statin medication of heart disease
Anyone with cold or numb feet, fatigue while walking, or wounds that heal slowly
If you have diabetes or other risk factors, annual testing tracks changes over time rather than waiting for a problem to announce itself.
Our team is trading scrubs for flannel, denim, and fun costumes for the week of October 26. Stop in, play along, and see if you can guess the costumes.
