Many policies cover the services of pedorthists such as foot orthoses, custom made shoes, shoe modifications, etc. To find out if you are covered, you can:
- Call your insurance company (or look in your extended health booklet);
- Check with human resources department of the company you work for.
As a policy holder, it is always advisable to call your insurance company directly to ask specifically about the item which your pedorthist has recommended to ensure coverage.
Your pedorthist will supply you with a detailed invoice for the services rendered. That, along with the prescription from your medical doctor or specialist, should supply the insurance company with the required documentation for financial reimbursement.
