Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between orthotics and prosthetics?
Orthotics are custom-made or Off- The-Shelve (OTS) custom fit devices that support or correct a limb or joint position, while prosthetics are artificial devices that replace a missing limb.

Coverage depends on your insurance plan. We work with Medicare, Medicaid, the VA and most private insurance providers. Our staff will help verify your benefits.
