Dr. Golan will document the clinical need thoroughly to support your claim. Coverage varies by plan; we'll verify before fabricating.

In most cases, no. Podiatrists are specialists you can access directly - no primary care referral is required for most insurance plans. HMO plans may require a referral; call your insurance card's member services number if you're unsure, or call our office and we'll help you check.

We'll advise you before treatment.
