What HAP Covers for Foot & Ankle Care

Diagnostic Services

Comprehensive foot and ankle exams, digital X-rays, diagnostic ultrasound, and neurological testing. Essential for diagnosing plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, fractures, and other conditions.

Conservative Treatments

HAP covers custom orthotics, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, shockwave therapy, and laser therapy. Advanced treatments may need prior authorization — we handle this for you.

Surgical Procedures

HAP covers medically necessary surgery including bunion correction, hammertoe repair, ingrown toenail removal, and ankle procedures. Pre-authorization is required for all surgical interventions.

Diabetic Foot Care

HAP provides enhanced coverage for diabetic foot care including annual diabetic foot exams, therapeutic shoes, custom insoles, and wound care. These preventive services help reduce the risk of serious diabetic foot complications.

Typical Costs with HAP Insurance

Office visit copay: $20–$40 for most HAP plans.
Specialist copay: $30–$50 depending on plan tier.
Diagnostic imaging: Covered at 80–100% after deductible for in-network providers.
Custom orthotics: Covered with prior authorization — typical patient responsibility is 20–30% coinsurance.
Surgery: Covered after pre-authorization with 80–90% plan coverage after deductible.

HAP Referral Requirements

HAP HMO: Referral from your primary care physician is required.
HAP PPO: No referral needed — schedule directly with us.
HAP Medicare Advantage: Referral requirements vary by plan. Call us for verification.

HAP Alliance plans (small business & individual marketplace)

HAP Alliance plans — those sold through the ACA marketplace and to small business groups — generally follow the same podiatry benefit structure as HAP’s commercial plans. Specialist copays are typically $40–$65 for in-network providers.

One difference matters more than the copay: HAP Alliance plans require you to use HAP’s network providers for full coverage, and out-of-network services are not covered except in an emergency. Our Bloomfield Township office is in Oakland County, which falls inside HAP’s core service area. Book online or call (810) 206-1402 and we will confirm in-network status for your specific HAP plan before you book.
