Not Sure About Your Insurance?
Insurance plans can sometimes be confusing. If you are unsure whether you need a referral, our office staff is happy to help verify your insurance benefits before your appointment.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
In most cases you do not need a referral to see a podiatrist. Many commercial insurance plans and Medicare allow direct access to podiatry, especially PPO or open-access plans. An HMO typically requires a referral from your primary care physician.
