Speak to your insurance provider: When your doctor suggests the need for some form of medical equipment, speak to them about what different options are available. It is possible that your insurance provider will cater for some type or brand of medical equipment. Don’t hesitate to call your insurance provider and find out where they can assist. Some people find out that they only need to pay for a percentage of the cost or at other times they don’t have to pay at all; some of these expenses are covered when there is documentation from your doctor. Talk to your insurance provider before you shop for equipment in order to narrow down on your choices.

Even though this is money saving strategy, make sure that you thoroughly check used Orthotic Equipment to make sure that all its features are working perfectly.
