 Frequently Asked Questions... Do I need an appointment? Yes: You will need two appointments; your initial evaluation for the impression of your feet to be taken and to consult with one of our practitioners and a second appointment for the final fitting of your orthotics Will my insurance cover the charges? No: Most insurers do not cover the cost of foot orthotics (Persons with diabetes, see that section) Do I need a prescription? Yes: You will need a physicians order. How much do they cost? Approximately $200-$250 per pair. The majority of orthotics ordered by physicians are custom molded. The costs cover your appointments and 90 days follow up and adjustments. How long does it take to make them? Two weeks: Most orthotics are ready for delivery in approximately two weeks. What type of shoes can I wear and should I buy new shoes before I get my orthotics? Orthotics will best fit in tie shoes and sneakers. Woman’s dress shoes, slip on shoes (sandals, slippers), or men’s loafers are not compatible with orthotics. Orthotics are made to the mold of your feet, not the mold of your shoe. Do not buy new shoes before receiving your orthotics. In many cases existing tie shoes and sneakers will accom-modate them without difficulty. But in some instances, you many need to purchase shoes that are a half size bigger or wider or a shoe with a removable in-sole. Do you sell shoes? No. How long do orthotics last? Approximately 1-3 years depending on the type of material and amount of use. < BACK |
