Payment Options
Insurance
Our billing staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your insurance benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated.
The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.
We accept all major forms of insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. However, we advise that you contact your insurance carrier regarding your provider’s participating and/or preferred status. Subscribers of Wyoming Medicaid should also be aware that, as a primary payor, Wyoming Medicaid does not provide coverage for podiatry services. Please contact your insurance carrier if you have questions about your specific plan or coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Insurance plans are as varied as the treatments they cover. Your individual plan coverage will depend on the type of treatment, the providing physician, the medical necessity, and the time and place of service. You should contact your insurance carrier with questions regarding your specific plan or coverage.
If extensive treatment is required, out billing staff will submit a prior-authorization at your request that will estimate plan coverage and patient responsibility. Please note that your insurance in a agreement between the patient and the carrier, and that plan benefits cannot be guaranteed. As a courtesy to the patient, our billing staff will submit claims to insurance, but the patient is ultimately responsible for payment of services.
The treatment of athlete’s foot will depend on the severity of your case. If you have a minor case of athlete’s foot, you can typically treat it at home with over-the-counter antifungal medication.
If you have a more serious outbreak of athlete’s foot, your doctor may prescribe a prescription in the form of an antifungal cream or an oral medication.The best way to beat athlete’s foot is to not get it in the first place. Athlete’s foot is caused by a fungus that is easily transmitted from damp, contaminated surfaces, so it is important to:
• Avoid direct contact with possible contaminated areas (like community showers in a gym).
• Change sweaty socks.
• Thoroughly dry your feet.
The easiest way to avoid ingrown toenails is to cut your nails in a straight line. You can slightly round the edges with a nail file; however, you should not cut down the side of your nail. You can also soften rough skin around your nail with moisturizer and a pumice stone.
Wearing shoes that fit correctly also reduce your risk of getting an ingrown toe nail.
Bunions are bony bumps on the joint of your big or little toe. These protrusions are actually the progression of the misalignment of your toe. They can be caused by heredity, faulty foot mechanics, and even the shoes you wear.
You can treat bunions by:
• Cushioning the bunion.
• Taking over-the-counter medication for the pain.
• Wearing shoes that do not put pressure on the bunion.
If the pain of your bunion cannot be relieved by any other method, surgery is an option.
The most common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis is the irritation and inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue that supports your foot’s arch. There are various causes of plantar fasciitis, including:
• Being overweight.
• Flat feet.
• High arches.
• Inward rolling your feet (pronation).
• Long periods of standing or walking on a hard surface.
The design of high heels, from the elevated heel to the narrow toe box, can contribute to various foot conditions, including:
• Achilles tendinitis.
• Benign tumors of nerves (neuromas).
• Blisters.
• Bunions.
• Calluses.
• Corns.
• Hammertoes.
• Pain in ball of foot (metatarsalgia).
• Pump bump (Haglund’s deformity).
In most cases, running and walking shoes can last for 350 to 500 miles. However, you should also pay attention to:
• Pain developing from wearing your shoes.
• Reduced cushioning.
• Stretched heel area.
• The condition of your insole.
• Visible signs of wear on your soles.
