Insurance Accepted at Vertex Podiatry

Yes. Medicare Part B covers medically necessary podiatric care, including treatment of foot conditions caused by diabetes (diabetic foot care), nerve damage, or circulatory disorders.

Many insurance plans - including Medicare - cover custom foot orthotics (also called AFOs or custom-molded insoles) when they are medically necessary and supported by a documented diagnosis. Dr. Golan will document the clinical need thoroughly to support your claim. Coverage varies by plan; we'll verify before fabricating.

In most cases, no. Podiatrists are specialists you can access directly - no primary care referral is required for most insurance plans. HMO plans may require a referral; call your insurance card's member services number if you're unsure, or call our office and we'll help you check.

It depends on which procedure. Laser wart removal (billed as lesion destruction) is typically covered by insurance. Laser fungal nail treatment, however, is considered a cosmetic procedure by insurers and is not covered regardless of severity. We'll confirm your coverage and out-of-pocket cost before any treatment.

We offer self-pay pricing for uninsured patients and transparent flat rates for common services. We also provide superbills (detailed receipts with procedure codes) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. CareCredit financing is also available for self-pay balances. Call us at (614) 328-5561 for current self-pay rates.

Yes. We've partnered with CareCredit, a healthcare credit card accepted at thousands of medical providers nationwide.

Applying takes a few minutes and approval is typically instant. You can apply directly on this page using the CareCredit financing section below.
