Insurance

Footit Health Care Store is contracted with the insurance companies below, and our insurance office is happy to check eligibility and your particular policy guidelines. However, in cases where we are not contracted and cannot access the particulars of your policy, we will bill your insurance on a non-assigned basis.

We are not Medicare Preferred providers; however, Footit Health Care Store makes every effort to take Medicare assignments.

If you have any questions relating to insurance, please email us or call 1-800-554-6508.

In order for us to bill your insurance, at a minimum we must have a prescription with a diagnosis, copies of your insurance cards, and patient information. Some companies may require prior authorization.

Products are billed with HCPC codes assigned by SADMERC. Manufacturers must apply to have these assigned. Even with a script, some items may not be reimbursed. A dollar figure is assigned to each billing code; some newer products may be assigned a dollar figure beyond what is acceptable as a reasonable and customary charge. Products often covered include canes, walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, knee braces, wrist splints, mastectomy prostheses, compression stockings, power chairs, ostomy supplies, hospital beds, and overlays.

Most insurance companies do not cover bathroom safety products.

Medicare requires an evaluation by a physical therapist and a doctor for scooters, wheelchairs, and power chairs.

Medicare pays 80% of its allowed amount, which may or may not be the price of the item.

No person can guarantee payment by your insurance. It is always the discretion of that insurance company whether they deem a product medically necessary.
