Promoting Access to Diabetic Shoes Act

This bill aims to expand the types of healthcare professionals authorized to fulfill the documentation requirements for Medicare coverage of therapeutic shoes for individuals with diabetes. Specifically, it amends Section 1861(s)(12) of the Social Security Act to include nurse practitioners and physician assistants alongside physicians in satisfying this crucial documentation. This legislative change aims to enhance patient access to essential diabetic footwear by leveraging the expertise of a broader range of qualified providers, ultimately streamlining the process for beneficiaries.
