Frequently Asked Questions

​

What happens at a Prosthetic Evaluation? Do I get billed for it?

Initial prosthetic evaluations are complimentary. These appointments help us assess your case, confirm insurance eligibility, and answer questions about our process, outcomes, or training programs. No prescription is required. Early evaluation by a prosthetist is highly recommended. 

 

​Do I need a prescription first for a New Prosthetic Socket, Prosthetic System, or Supplies

A face-to-face appointment with your physician is required for necessary documentation. Insurance providers mandate these documents for authorization. Your doctor must put in the order to us and we will then send a Standard Written Order to the doctor to sign. Once completed, we will promptly submit the paperwork for insurance pre-authorization. Make sure to note your activities you both currently and hope to do in the future during your appointment. These should be included in the doctor's clinical note.

​

Can I see a Nurse Practitioner or a Physician Assistant? 

You may see a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, however, all clinical notes, orders, and Standard Written orders must be cosigned by an MD.
