Billing for podiatry is not general billing with a different code set. Routine foot care exclusions, where coverage turns on a documented systemic condition rather than on the procedure performed.
Medicare excludes routine foot care outright unless a qualifying condition and an active treating relationship are both on record.

Where podiatry claims actually fail
- Routine foot care billed without a qualifying systemic diagnosis
- Treating physician attestation missing
- Nail debridement units exceeding limits
How we work it
We code from what your record documents and query you when it does not support a code, which in podiatry is where most of the avoidable exposure sits.
Denials are worked by cause rather than in queue order, so the same failure stops recurring instead of being re-worked every month.
We work the claims. You practice medicine.
Coding, claim submission, denial management, and A/R follow-up — with nothing left for your front desk to chase.

Podiatry — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have coders who know podiatry?
+
Yes. All coding is performed by certified coders, and specialty assignment is deliberate — routine foot care exclusions, where coverage turns on a documented systemic condition rather than on the procedure performed.
Do you guarantee we will collect more?
+
No, and nobody honestly can. Payment is decided by the payer. What we commit to is the process and the six numbers we report, which you can check against your own system.
