Get YOUR doctor to send a scripted to a shoe maker that's makes diabetic shoes. Medicare will pay for them

Hello @A MySpondylitisTeam Member, I like your answer very much. I once got a script from my Dr. for me to buy my hot tub, which I don't even have anymore because it kept breaking down, and hubby didn't want to fix it anymore. But I only got 10% off, and that was about 20 years ago. I sure would like to get a script for my very expensive shoes also. I really don't see why we have to pay that much for a pair of shoes that help my feet and body? We that are ill should get something off to help us. Anyone else thinks the same? BTW whom are we looking for besides our Drs? to help us? Hugs, Katy
