Frequently Asked Questions
 

WHAT KIND OF PODIATRY PROBLEMS CAN BE MANAGED AT HOME? 

Most podiatry problems that are typically managed at the office can also be managed as effectively at the place of a patient’s residence, provided the visiting podiatrist is properly equipped to provide care at home.   Often individual circumstances of a patient can be better evaluated when a doctor comes to patient’s home, thus allowing to address additional barriers to medical improvement which can otherwise go unaddressed.      Since On the Go Podiatry specializes in housecalls, it is fully equipped to perform podiatry procedures that can be done in the office in the comfort of a patient’s home.    

WHAT AREAS DO YOU GO TO? 

We currently provide services in Cook and Lake County of Greater Chicago area.   If you live in other counties of Chicagoland, please contact us as we are in the process of expanding our services to other areas and might be able to accommodate you.   

WHAT INSURANCES DO YOU ACCEPT? 

We currently accept Medicare part B (“traditional Medicare”) and all supplemental insurances, including Public Aid, as secondary insurances to Medicare.    

Please check back often as we plan to begin accepting some Medicare Advantage plans soon.    

If you don’t have Medicare part B and would like to know our self -pay fee schedule, please contact us.   Many people are pleasantly surprised at how affordable podiatry house calls are.    

DO YOU SERVICE FACILITIES? 

Yes, we care for residents of independent living, assistant living, memory care, and intermediate care facilities.   We will see as many or as few patients as need to be seen, even if it’s just one.     We would be happy to be your primary resource of foot care for your residents.   Alternatively, we would also be happy to provide occasional or one-time help if you have a regular podiatrist who comes to your facility but need additional resource.   Our goal is to help as many patients as we can, and we will partner with you in whatever capacity you need us to accomplish this goal.    

DO YOU CHARGE “TRAVEL FEE”?
