WHAT WE HEAR FROM PODIATRY PRACTICES
The Coverage Rule Is the Whole Game, and the Chart Misses It
Routine foot care denies
Medicare covers 11055 to 11057 and 11719 and 11721 only with a qualifying systemic condition, a documented at-risk finding, and the right Q modifier. One missing piece and the claim denies, the patient gets billed, and Monday morning is spent on the phone.
The wound record has no trend
Length, width, depth, tissue type, and dated photographs have to show change over time to support the debridement code. Most platforms make this a separate workflow, so six weeks later there is no visual trend to defend the 11043 you billed in week three.
DME paperwork eats the afternoon
Diabetic shoes, AFOs, walking boots, and custom orthotics each carry their own CMN, necessity threshold, and form. Get one piece wrong and the order does not ship, the patient walks out empty-handed, and the DME revenue sits on the table.
Modifiers are unforgiving
Toe modifiers T1 to TA and T5 to T9, side modifiers LT and RT, and the 59, XS, and XU rules CMS keeps tightening. Get the toe or side wrong and the claim denies, and across a panel a meaningful share of revenue is lost to mismatches your scrubber never caught.
HOW GLACERCM HELPS
A Billing Service That Lives in Your Modifier Rules
GlaceRCM bills your claims in your EMR or ours, charged at a percentage of collections with no base fees. We would rather run it on our platform, where the scrubber sees the full chart, but if you are staying on your EMR our billing team works your claims there. The service is built for the podiatry code mix and the Medicare-heavy payer panel, and the numbers below reflect that focus.
Scrubbing tuned to foot and ankle modifiers
Toe modifiers T1 to TA and T5 to T9, side modifiers LT and RT, the 51, 59, 79, XS, and XU rules, and the Q modifiers that decide routine-care coverage. Payer-specific rules check every claim before submission so the toe and side match the documentation and the claim does not deny on a mismatch.
DME billed end to end
Diabetic shoes and inserts, AFOs, walking boots, surgical shoes, and custom orthotics handled as part of the standard service. The CMN and necessity letter prefill from the chart, the HCPCS-level scrub runs against payer rules, and the rejection rework and audit response sit with our team, so DME revenue becomes line items instead of write-offs.
Denials worked to resolution
We do not drop a denial at 90 days. Every claim is tracked through appeals, second-level reviews, and peer-to-peer when necessity is disputed. A write-off happens only when you sign off, and the dashboard shows where every disputed dollar stands by payer and by Q modifier.
A named billing specialist
A dedicated account manager who knows your state’s Medicare LCD, the codes you bill, and your top denials. Not a ticket queue, not an offshore call center. They know your practice by name within a month of go-live and pick up the phone when you call in month six.

QUESTIONS WE HEAR
Podiatry Billing FAQ
Does GlaceRCM handle DME paperwork end to end, including the diabetic-shoe CMN?
Yes. DME claims for diabetic therapeutic shoes and inserts, custom ankle-foot orthoses, walking boots, surgical shoes, and custom orthotics are handled end to end as part of the standard service. The CMN and the medical-necessity letter prefill from the diabetic-foot exam and the at-risk classification already in the chart, the HCPCS-level scrub runs against payer-specific rules, the supplier paperwork moves with the order, and the rejection rework and audit response sit with our team.
What does GlaceRCM pricing look like, and can we keep our EMR?
You pay a percentage of what we collect, with no base fees and no implementation charges. The exact percentage depends on your code mix, payer panel, and volume, and you will have it after a 20-minute discovery call. We would rather run the full bundle, where the billing quality depends on a tight integration with the chart, and about 98% of Glenwood clients choose that path.
Does GlaceEMR handle routine-foot-care coverage documentation and Q modifiers?
Yes. The chart captures the diabetic-foot exam, the systemic-condition documentation, and the class A, B, and C findings as discrete data, then derives the at-risk class for the calendar year and surfaces the right Q modifier (Q7, Q8, or Q9) on the routine-foot-care claim. If the documentation is incomplete, the chart prompts you for the specific element the LCD requires before the encounter closes.
