Podiatry Billing Services That Keep Your Practice Paid

Foot and ankle care comes with billing rules that general billers often miss. At Toetal Healthcare Revenue Solutions, we provide podiatry billing services based on your practice’s needs.

Our billing specialists bring more than 30 years of experience to podiatry medical billing, so your claims go out clean and your payments arrive sooner.

We work closely with you and your staff, providing customized billing support at an affordable price.

What Our Podiatry Medical Billing Covers

Podiatry medical billing is the process of turning each patient visit into an accurate claim and following it until it is paid. We handle coding, claims processing, denial management, and payment posting. You also receive real-time financial reporting, so you always know where your revenue stands.

Routine Foot Care and Medicare Rules

Medicare treats nail trimming and callus removal as routine foot care and, in most cases, will not pay for it. Coverage exceptions may apply when a patient has a qualifying systemic condition, such as diabetes with poor circulation, and meets Medicare’s requirements.

Even then, the claim needs the correct modifier and supporting documentation. We check both before submission to help prevent denials caused by missing information.

Support From New Practice Setup to Daily Billing

If you are opening a podiatry office, our new practice setup service takes care of credentialing and payer enrollment ahead of your first patient. For practices already up and running, we audit your coding for compliance and point out problems while they can still be fixed.

Why Hire Professional Billing Specialists

Managing billing in-house can take time away from patient care. Even small billing errors can affect your practice’s revenue. Our podiatry billing services give you experienced specialists without the cost of a full billing department.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will Medicare pay for routine foot care?

For eligible patients, Medicare generally covers routine foot care no more than once every 60 days. Claims sent sooner are usually denied. Tracking each patient’s last date of service helps prevent this.

Do podiatrists need separate enrollment to bill for diabetic shoes?

Yes. Therapeutic shoes are billed as medical equipment, which requires enrollment as a supplier with Medicare. The physician managing the patient’s diabetes must also certify the need.

How long does credentialing take for a new podiatry practice?

It often takes a few months, and the timeline varies by payer. Starting before your opening date helps you avoid unpaid visits. Keeping your CAQH profile current also speeds up the process.

What is a clean claim rate?

It is the share of claims paid on the first submission. A higher rate means faster payment. Many practices aim for 95 percent or more.
