Podiatry Medical Billing & Credentialing Services

Streamlining Foot & Ankle Care Reimbursement for Maximum Revenue

Podiatry practices operate at the intersection of medical necessity and specialized procedures—from diabetic foot care and orthotic fittings to complex foot and ankle surgeries. These services involve unique documentation, coding, and payer policies that demand precision and specialty-specific expertise. At Oakview Medical Billing Solutions, we bring that precision to your revenue cycle—making sure your claims are clean, compliant, and paid quickly.

Whether you’re a solo podiatrist, part of a multispecialty group, or run a surgical podiatry center, Oakview ensures your billing and credentialing operations are seamless, profitable, and stress-free.

Why Podiatry Billing Is Uniquely Challenging

Billing for podiatry involves more than routine foot care codes. Many services require detailed medical necessity documentation to justify coverage, and reimbursement policies can vary wildly between payers.

Here are the challenges podiatrists often face:

Strict Coverage Criteria

Routine foot care (like nail debridement or callus removal) is only reimbursed under specific diagnoses (e.g., diabetes with neuropathy). Claims are denied if not properly supported by ICD-10 codes and chart notes.

Modifier Usage Errors

Modifiers like -Q7, -Q8, and -Q9 (used to indicate systemic conditions affecting the feet) must be applied accurately to justify medical necessity.

DME & Orthotics Billing

Custom orthotics and durable medical equipment (DME) billing requires exact HCPCS coding, supplier registration, and adherence to payer-specific forms and protocols.

Surgical Bundling Confusion

Foot and ankle surgeries may be bundled by payers unless billing reflects correct CPT coding with appropriate modifiers (-59, -XS, etc.).

Medicare MACs Variation

Medicare rules for podiatry vary by region and MAC (Medicare Administrative Contractor), making it difficult to maintain consistency across practices operating in multiple states.
