Lower limb prosthetic devices are usually partially or entirely covered by the amputee's medical insurance provider. Work closely with the insurance company to check the policy coverage for a prosthesis and know the limitations and exclusions of the policy.
A prosthetist bills the medical insurance provider, not only for the device, but also for the proper fit and alignment, all as one total cost. Proper fit and alignment may require several trips to the prosthetists office.
The cost for a prosthetic leg can range anywhere from $5,
000 to $50,
000. Every patient should get the lower limb prosthesis they need, when they need it. Blatchford and RePaytient have united to offer a service that will make sure this can happen. Ask your prosthetist for details.
