HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted November 1, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm probably the last to find out but Medicare allows one (1) pair of diabetic shoes a yr. Since my deductable is already paid for this yr, I'm going to buy a pair, before the end of the yr. I know VA will do one (1) pair a yr also. Sweet!!! Thought I'd post this in case I wasn't the last to know. pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve&pat Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I just got my 2 pair of diabetic shoes from the VA last week. 2 pairs a year- and I beleive the VA supplies my SOX 3 pair every 3 months the doctor said. This was the second set of 2 pair of shoes -last year was the same. STEVE & PAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted November 1, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 1, 2011 I knew about Medicare and my experience is the shows are better than the VA's. Never knew the VA gave socks. Thanks for the informative posts. Like I always say you pretty much have to ask to get what you are entitled to from the VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computer Tech Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 My understanding is that Medicare will pay for one pair of shoes and three inserts per year. I was told this by the place that supplies my shoes. I knew that you could get shoes from the VA but I didn't know they also gave diabetic socks.
