Documentation Required

When routine foot care needs to meet one of the exclusions, include the applicable Q modifier on the claim: Q7 for 1 Class A finding, Q8 for 2 Class B findings, and Q9 for 1 Class B plus 2 Class C findings.
For all foot-care claims report an appropriate foot/toe location modifier (e.g., LT, RT, TA, T1-T9) to identify laterality and specific toe when applicable.
If a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service is provided on the same day as routine foot care, append modifier -25 to the E/M claim line.

When reporting an ICD-10-CM code that falls under the active care requirement, report the date the beneficiary was last seen by the MD, DO, or qualified NPP responsible for treating the underlying condition in line 19 of the CMS-1500 or the electronic equivalent.
