Encourage your Members of Congress to Support Improved Medicare Patient Access to Needed Therapeutic Shoes
Ask your Representative to cosponsor S. 260/H.R. 704 which would authorize nurse practitioners (NPs) to certify their patient's need for therapeutic shoes. Passage of this legislation will make it possible for NPs to provide this service, when necessary, for their Medicare patients. It will reduce Medicare spending by eliminating duplicative services while also improving the quality and timeliness of care for beneficiaries with diabetes who need therapeutic shoes.
