Typically, your insurance company requires that the following questions be answered before an orthotic claim for prescription orthotics will be evaluated. For your convenience, the GAITWAY has prepared this document for use in submitting information to insurance carriers.
Q1: Do I need a prescription from my Medical Doctor?
Yes. Please confirm your coverage with your Insurance carrier. In some instances, a prescription for orthotics from your Chiropractor will suffice.
Q2: Was an impression of the patient’s foot taken? If so, please state the technique that was used to create the impression.
Yes. Positive Models made from foot casts by placing the patients foot in the neutral position of the subtalar joint in the prone position. These will be used in the creation of the prescription orthotics.
Q3: Was the orthotics appliance prescribed and were the orthotics custom made?
