Does My Health Insurance Policy Cover Custom Foot Orthotics

Great question!

Health Insurance companies accept claims for consideration on health insurance claim forms.

On that form, there’s a special place for what’s called a CPT code.

CPT stands for current procedural terminology and in this case, CPT code L3000 describes custom foot orthotics.

BORING!

Yeah, we know, but it’s how insurance companies process claims.

Now you know.

So, back to the question at hand.

Does my health insurance cover custom foot orthotics?

Well, that depends on whether or not you have orthotics coverage in your policy.

The mere fact you have insurance doesn’t mean they’re going to pay for every procedure or product known to man.

Very often we meet people whose lives would change dramatically if they could only wear custom foot orthotics, but they have no coverage.

Most choose to pay out of pocket.

Sadly, the rest continue to suffer.

Or, they waste time getting painful injections or, worse yet, having surgery simply because their insurance will cover it.

Folks, you’re insurance company does not care about you.

They don’t care if you get cut on or injected.

To them, it’s black and white.

If your policy has the coverage, they pay for it regardless of whether or not it’s in your best interest.

Remember, they’re not the doctor who spent time listening to your concerns, who examined you and made the recommendation for custom foot orthotics.

Truth is: It doesn’t even matter if your doctor feels it will literally save your life as in the case of a heart surgery.

If it’s not in your policy – DENIED, and you’ll need to pay out of pocket!

That’s the bad news.

Here’s the good news.

It’s easy to find out if you have coverage.

Call the customer service number on your health insurance card and ask.

Ask specifically if you have coverage for CPT code L3000.

It’s that easy.

If you do, great.

If you don’t, no big deal.

We only charge $425 for the pair.

Best investment you’ll ever make!

Don’t believe us.
