Your Annual
Diabetic Foot Exam

Protect your mobility with a comprehensive 360° clinical evaluation including monofilament testing, vascular assessment, and skin/nail screening. Serving Howell and Bloomfield Hills.

The 3 Pillars of a Comprehensive Exam

A standard visual check isn’t enough. Our specialists perform targeted clinical tests to identify hidden risks.

Monofilament Testing

We use specialized tools to map your nerve sensitivity. This detects early-stage Neuropathy before you lose the protective sensation that prevents ulcers.

Vascular Assessment

Poor blood flow is a major risk factor. We evaluate pedal pulses and circulation to ensure your tissues are receiving the oxygen needed for healing.

Skin & Nail Evaluation

Detailed screening for fungal infections, ingrown nails, and pressure-induced calluses that can hide underlying bone infections (osteomyelitis).

Are You Overdue for an Exam?

Medicare typically covers one comprehensive exam every 6 to 12 months for at-risk patients.

Medicare Coverage & Billing

  • Is the Annual Foot Exam covered by Medicare?

    Yes. Medicare Part B covers foot exams once every 6-12 months for people with diabetes-related nerve damage that can lead to ulcers.

  • What about orthotics or shoes?

    Medicare also covers therapeutic shoes and inserts if you have severe diabetic foot disease and are being treated under a comprehensive care plan.

  • Will I have a co-pay?

    Usually, the Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance apply unless you have supplemental insurance that covers the gap.
