How is it that claims from podiatrists are held to a higher standard than those of other specialties for routine visits? When a claim is denied because it is for non-covered foot care, the claim is denied even if the condition which caused the foot care is a covered service. If a claim is denied for non-covered foot care, a claim is denied even if it is for a covered service for the underlying condition. Podiatric medical billing services must establish that connection on each claim, linking the procedure done (such as debridement, orthotics) to the systemic condition that caused it, so that, rather than having to appeal to explain what needs to be clear the first time, the claim is reimbursed.
