Documentation Required

Clinical records must clearly document the diagnosis, specific foot findings, and the clinical rationale that treatment was medically necessary and that withholding care would be hazardous to the beneficiary.
For the policy’s asterisked/complicating conditions, include the name of the primary physician (MD or DO) who made the diagnosis and the approximate date of the last visit; this information must be included in the medical record and entered on the appropriate claim forms or electronic equivalent when billing Medicare.

Follow CMS website instructions for billing Part A and Part B claims and Noridian guidance for JE Part B claims; include required claim form entries/electronic equivalents.

Document provider licensure and ensure services are rendered by a certified physician, podiatrist, or non-physician practitioner within scope of State licensure when billing for routine foot care.
