EXPECT THE BEST
Orthotics and Prosthetics are very specialized fields. Few medical personnel have the knowledge to adequately understand these fields better than an ABC certified Orthotist-Prosthetist. There are rapidly changing techniques, high tech components, new materials and ever evolving stardands of care. In addition, new rules and regulations for government payers and third party managed care continually complicate these fileds. Let a professional help navigate through the continuing changing landscape. |

| MEDICAL NECESSITY AND RECORD REVIEW |
Many instances seem self evident...a new amputee needs a prosthetic leg. But what is a suitable level of care. Review
of the patient history and medical records can give a very good picture of what is appropriate. Over 30 years experience
in patient care gives us an edge in understanding what is reasonalbe care and what are the established Standards of Care. |
The cost of providing life long prosthetic or orthotic care is continually escalating, even with the efforts of managed care
and government intervention. Each new innovation in component parts and techniques come with a higher cost. In order
to determine the cost for an individual life time, it is no longer acceptable just to take current cost and a multiple of life
expectancy. Many factors need to be considered with historical perspective and knowledge of the newest innovations |
