Can his doc re-think the diagnosis and focus on the ulcer alone and not the PN. Drugs, medical procedure, tests, etc are many times tied to a diagnostic code. If Alan had a chronic foot ulcer in which he could not have surgery what would his doctor prescribe. I guess I'm asking if there are other reasons that insurance will cover orthotics when it's not related to diabetic PN; and does it apply to Alan?

Just a thought.
