Southwind Agency specializes in Diabetic Shoes. These shoes are not your ordinary shoe. With over 50 styles to choose from, you are sure to find a style and fit that’s just right for you. Our Patient Care Specialists take the time to check your feet, measure your feet, and try on shoes to insure the diabetic shoes you order will fit your feet perfectly.
With the passing of the Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Bill in the mid 1990’s, Congress helped thousands of seniors obtain protective footwear and inserts. These diabetic shoes are extra depth and have inserts made of non-porous material that protects the diabetic foot from bacteria which can cause infections, which lead to ulcerations, and eventually amputations. According to the American Association for Diabetes, there are many complications that can happen as a result of diabetes. Protecting a patient’s feet is huge for the diabetic.
Medicare Beneficiaries who qualify for the diabetic shoes can obtain these at little or no cost based on their insurance. Our Patient Care Specialists are trained to work with you, the patient, to obtain a financial arrangement that works for you. Don’t delay!
