Summary
The Diabetes Foot Health Access and Modernization Act would let Medicaid beneficiaries receive foot and ankle care from podiatric physicians and would simplify the paperwork needed for Medicare to cover extra‑depth or custom‑molded diabetic shoes. It aims to improve foot health for people with diabetes, a group at high risk for serious complications. The changes take effect in 2026 for Medicaid and 2028 for Medicare.
