FAQ

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
Most PPO insurance plans do not require a referral for podiatry. Some HMO plans may require one from your primary care physician. Call us at (312) 701-0770 and we will confirm for your specific plan before you come in.
What if I don’t have insurance?
We welcome self-pay patients. Call (312) 701-0770 to discuss our self-pay rates and payment options before your visit. We work to make podiatric care accessible regardless of insurance status.
Does Medicare cover bunion surgery?
Medicare Part B covers bunion surgery when it is medically necessary, meaning conservative treatments have failed and the condition affects your ability to walk. Pre-authorization is typically required. Our billing team handles this process for you.
