Why doesn’t insurance cover orthotics for my foot problem? I got my orthotics 7 months ago because the doctor saw my arches and said regular inserts wouldn’t work for me. The insurance website said I wouldn’t have to pay anything. But now they’re saying I owe $600 because only diabetes qualifies for orthotics. I’m doing physical therapy and getting shots to avoid surgery, which would cost more than the orthotics. How do you afford them? Any advice?
Navigating insurance coverage for orthotics can be tricky. Start by gathering documentation from your doctor to support your case. Consider appealing the insurance company’s decision and exploring alternative payment options or assistance programs. Keep advocating for yourself and researching all available options.
