Allows nurse practitioners and physician assistants to satisfy the Medicare documentation requirement for coverage of therapeutic shoes for people with diabetes by changing the Social Security Act. This lets nurse practitioners and physician assistants sign or certify the medical documentation Medicare requires so eligible diabetic patients can more easily get Medicare‑covered therapeutic footwear.

The change is narrow and technical: it removes a paperwork barrier and should improve access to covered shoes for Medicare patients with diabetes, speed processing for providers and beneficiaries, and has minimal budgetary or regulatory effect.
