October 16 2018 Tri-cities Orthodics & Prosthetics
Insurance approved only my hand/wrist splint which I am glad it covered at least one instead of nothing, and I really needed a new one as the Velcro was not holding together anymore.
Medicaid did not cover my shoulder/shoulder-blade stabilizer brace nor my knee brace. Tammy informed me that they work with a company called Ottobock and she found a shoulder/shoulder-blade stabilizer brace that will work with me. She took measurements again and printed out the brace information.
She did mention it’s on the pricey side. My mother and i agreed it did not matter as I needed it to prevent my shoulder and shoulder-blade from twisting inwards permanently and the pain.
As for my knee compression brace, I’ll just continue to wear the one I have for now and talk to my PCP about getting a prescription for one and get her to write a note as to why I need a custom one.
