What will my insurance cover?

The cost of a prosthetic leg includes the specialized services
we provide. Your prosthesis is a custom-made device that takes
time and skill to design and fit. The cost of your device can vary
greatly depending on the design that is medically necessary for
you. Fees may be charged for modifications and adjustments
that are necessary as your limb changes shape and size, but
most initial adjustments and follow-up appointments are
provided at no charge. Please contact your prosthetist with any
financial concerns.

Prosthetic care is covered under most health insurance plans
once deductibles and copayments are met. Our staff will help
you understand your coverage and coordinate with your insurer.
Please let our office know about any changes in your insurance.
In addition, there are government funded programs available for
people with physical challenges which may provide additional
support.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

Hanger Clinic generally requires a physician’s prescription
for all prosthetic services, supplies and devices; especially
if we are billing an insurance company.

Insurance approval for new supplies or devices may take
time. Do not wait until the last minute.

Our team of prosthetists and office administrators want
the best results for you. Please be patient as we partner
with your physician’s office and your insurance company
to get approval for your supplies. Feel free to follow up
with us about the status of your claim.
