Wisconsin Medicaid Podiatry Services Handbook

The Division of Health Care Financing (DHCF) is pleased to provide you with a copy of the new Podiatry Services Handbook.

All policies included in the handbook are effective for dates of service on and after May 1, 2003. Please utilize your current handbook, Part V, the Podiatry Handbook, until that date.

The Podiatry Services Handbook incorporates current Medicaid podiatry policy information into a single reference source. The handbook replaces all prior podiatry services publications including Part V, the Podiatry Handbook, dated January 1992.

This handbook does not replace the All-Provider Handbook and all-provider Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Updates, the Wisconsin Administrative Code, or Wisconsin Statutes. Subsequent changes to podiatry services policies will be published first in Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Updates and later in the Podiatry Services Handbook revisions.

Additional Copies of Publications

All Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Updates and the Podiatry Services Handbook can be downloaded from the Medicaid Web site at dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/.

We would like to thank everyone who reviewed the handbook and provided comments.
