Who’s Who
Products 2019 & Services Buyers’ Guide f knowledge is power, then time is surely money. That’s the idea behind the Podiatry Management Annual Buyers’ Guide: to save you time by providing you Ian easy and convenient source of all the major podiatric products and services you use in the everyday course of running your practice.
PART I 1 This year’s guide is divided into two parts. Part I lists company names alphabetically and provides pertinent address and phone/fax/website information, with additional product and/or service data for advertisers in this special online edition. Click any- where on the shaded area for each advertiser and you’ll go directly to their website.
PART II Part II, which starts on page 83, lists companies or organizations according to the type of product or service they provide. Listings in many cases feature both company/organization and product name; thus, if you’re looking for Amlactin under “Pharmaceuticals: Moisturizers,” you can find this brand name even if you don’t know that Sandoz is the manufacturer. Click on the boldface companies and orga- nizations and you’ll go directly to their website.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Another cross-referencing feature makes it easier for you to find related prod- ucts. For example, if you’re looking in the “Orthotics, Prefabricated” category, you will also find the cross-reference “See also: Insoles, Heel Supports, and Pads.” If you have an office manual, we recommend that you photocopy these pages and add them to your source lists. That way, the next time you run short of x-rays, for example, you can quickly locate a supplier. Incidentally, we encourage you to support these suppliers. Collectively, they provide the advertising dollars neces- sary to support magazines such as this; and many, as well, contribute to podiatric student scholarships and research.

Stabilizer
The Surestep Stabilizer is a device that provides mediolateral stability, as well as stabilizing the foot/ankle in the sagittal plane, facilitating clearance during swing phase for patients with dropfoot. With the carbon fiber insert on the posterior strut, the Stabilizer helps to bring the foot up as the leg swings across, but also helps to assists with deceleration of the foot after heel strike. This makes for a much more normal, natural gait.
Low profile cuff
Thin, carbon reinforcement for increased energy return
Molded Inner Boot provides consistent proprioceptive input through distribution of forces and circumferential compression
Shortened footplate for ease of donning in most For more information or to place an order, any shoe visit our website or give us a call.

Frustrated by Nursing Home Documentation? Whether you are just starting out as a podiatrist or a seasoned pro, providing mobile podiatric medical care to Nursing Homes can be totally frustrating to get documentation right. Too often some EMR systems can lead you to documenting inaccurate findings which then cost you time and revenue! It’s time to get excited, because there really is a paper form set: • That makes progress note documentation easy and manageable without creating the mistakes that lead to paybacks after a discov- erable audit? • That shortens your time spent on documentation allowing you spend more quality time with more patients or seem more patients. • That allows you to immediately code diagnoses and procedures to expedite billing that’s accurate and not prone to ex- pensive errors. Facility Copy Page 1 • That guides you to record the necessary key elements (history, exam, decision making), what you performed, your orders and plan, Doctor’s and why it was medically necessary for that level to meet the Copy
threshold of complexity for those initial visit codes at a Nursing Superbill Home. Side 1 • That is specifically designed to be used in Nursing Homes and other mobile remote locations. This product is an expansion of our proven and successful office podiatric services form (POD-3030) and has been updated annually over two decades. • That in a mobile environment, you are not dependent on wi-fi or expensive software. If you are just starting to practice podiatry, why not get started with a mobile practice without a lot of overhead. What makes this form so perfect is what differentiates this mobile care documentation form from one for office care documentation! 1) You have the second copy for your own retention. 2) You have a form that helps facilities fulfill requirements for their MDS reporting.
3) You have a billing sheet with codes tailored to the needs of mobile FacilityPage Copy 2 care – no complex surgeries. 4) You have a form more focused on wound care than the office form. Doctor’sCopy
5) You still confidently create medical charts that lead to and support Superbill maximum allowed billing for the type of facility. Side 2 The DocuForms POD-4030/D form provides you the best way to document your patient encounter and do coding for billing while at the facility or home of the patient.
