We accept many UnitedHealthcare plans at Care Podiatry to help you get the benefits for foot and ankle care. The coverage plans are different, but most of them include coverage for medically necessary podiatry services.
UnitedHealthcare usually covers professional care that is medically necessary. It means the services are needed to diagnose or treat conditions such as illness, injury, or disease. Under the UnitedHealthcare policy, routine foot care is not covered unless it is linked to a chronic condition requiring professional care.
In specific conditions, routine procedures can be covered if they are a part of treatment for severe blood circulation issues, neurologic problems, or other medical conditions that increase risk.
Some UnitedHealthcare plans may need prior authorization for various procedures or referrals from your primary care doctor. These requirements can depend on your plan and the services you are requesting.
We will review your UnitedHealthcare benefits before your visit to help you know what services are covered under your specific plan. Our team works with you and your plan to minimize surprises.
Because UnitedHealthcare plans are different, we suggest you bring your insurance card. Contact us before visiting. We can explain what your plan covers and if you need to bear the cost from your pocket.
