At Utah Foot Doctors, Dr. Scott McKell and our team proudly accept Aetna and are committed to helping patients in Utah County walk comfortably again.
We Accept Aetna Insurance
We know insurance can feel confusing, but we make it simple.
Our staff verifies your Aetna benefits before your visit, explains what’s covered, and handles the claim submission for you.
Whether you’re dealing with heel pain, nail issues, or diabetic foot problems, you don’t have to wonder, “Does my Aetna plan cover this?”
We’ll help you find out — before you even step into the office.
What Does Aetna Cover for Podiatry?
Coverage can vary by plan, but Aetna typically includes podiatry services that are medically necessary, such as:
-
Foot or ankle pain evaluation and treatment
-
Diabetic foot exams and care
-
Ingrown toenail and nail bed infections
-
Wound treatment and ulcer management
-
Custom orthotics (plan-dependent)
-
Imaging, taping, or minor procedures prescribed by your podiatrist
Routine or cosmetic foot care (like callus removal or non-medical nail trimming) is generally not covered unless tied to a medical condition such as diabetes or poor circulation.

Choosing an in-network Aetna podiatrist in Orem ensures smoother visits and predictable costs. At Utah Foot Doctors:
-
We verify your eligibility before your appointment
-
We submit claims directly to Aetna
-
We explain copays and out-of-pocket costs up front
