Frequently Asked Questions

For your first visit to Fremont Foot and Ankle, please bring your current photo ID, and insurance card(s). It's also helpful to bring the shoes you wear most often, as these can provide important information about your foot mechanics and wear patterns.

If you've had previous imaging studies (X-rays, MRIs) related to your foot condition, bringing these reports or having them sent to our office before your visit can be helpful. We also recommend arriving 15 minutes early to complete the check in process if you were unable to log in at home.

Do I need to have my physician referral paperwork with me?
While we will have already received your referral electronically from your physician's office, bringing any referral paperwork you were given can be helpful as backup documentation. Our office staff works directly with referring physicians to ensure all necessary referral documentation is in place before your appointment. If there are any issues with your referral, we will contact you before your scheduled visit.

What insurance plans do you accept?
Fremont Foot and Ankle accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance providers. Since insurance coverage can change frequently, we recommend contacting our office directly with your specific insurance information so we can verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will work with you to understand your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs.

Do you require a copay at the time of service?
Yes, we do require copays to be paid at the time of service, as this is a requirement of most insurance contracts. Your copay amount will depend on your specific insurance plan and whether podiatry visits are considered specialty care under your policy. We accept various payment methods including cash, credit cards, and debit cards. If you're unsure about your copay amount, please contact your insurance provider or our office staff can help verify this information for you before your visit.
