Will Insurance Cover Basic Toenail Trimming Services?

Clients are often uninformed or simply don't understand what is considered under their insurance for basic toenail trimming services. Navigating and understanding what is covered under medical insurance can be daunting for many.
​
According to AARP--
["Medicare considers routine foot care to be the removal of calluses and corns; cutting, trimming or removing nails; and hygienic or preventive maintenance, such as cleaning or soaking your feet. It won’t cover these services but will cover some medically necessary foot treatments that a doctor prescribes"]

Advance Footcare Professionals & Medical Pedicurist have advanced training and with a simple google search you may get lucky and find a specialist in your area. Clients needing basic footcare toenail trims, not covered by insurance, may want to reserve an appointment with a Medical or Advanced Pedicurist for preventative maintenance. 

AARP is a reputable agency and great reference resource. View the featured article in this blog post here: http://www.aarp.org/health/medicare-qa-tool/does-medicare-cover-foot-care.html
