Conference Call Only

PCG will host a Special Open Door Forum (SODF) to allow physicians, provider and supplier professional associations, and/or all other interested parties to provide feedback on the templates and CDEs for Therapeutic Shoes for Persons with Diabetes that are posted on the CMS.gov website. The printable clinical templates and suggested CDEs listed below describe the data elements that CMS believes would be useful in supporting the documentation requirements for coverage of Therapeutic Shoes for Persons with Diabetes as follows:

1. Order,
2. Progress Note, and
3. Statement of Certifying Physician

The Clinical Templates and CDEs are available on the CMS.gov website which can be accessed through the link below:

Providers and IT vendors can choose whether or not to use the printable clinical templates and/or the suggested CDEs. The suggested CDEs aren't a form, but a tool that IT vendors can integrate into electronic health record (EHR) systems to create prompts to assist providers with their medical record documentation for Medicare purposes.
