On your first visit, our practitioner will perform a comprehensive assessment of your orthotic or prosthetic needs. First, they will obtain and document your history. Second, they will perform a diagnosis-specific examination. Third, they will suggest the best treatment plans and device(s) that would best benefit you. If you’re receiving a custom item, an impression may be taken by the cast to get your order started. We may visit or call you back for another appointment to do so. Additionally, the practitioner will work directly with your physician. If you’re currently in rehabilitation, your physical or occupational therapist(s) to best achieve your specific needs and goals.
New Patient
What to expect at your first appointment:
After the first visit for this order is complete, we’ll be busy behind the scenes ordering, fabricating, processing your insurance information, and obtaining any prior authorizations that may be needed.
In order to move your order along as quickly as we can, we need to obtain information from the physician who’s currently treating you for the medical condition that’s causing you to require the device(s) we’re providing you with. This may or may not be the doctor who referred you for the device. If it’s not the referring physician, please inform us of their name and contact information.
Here’s what we need to process your order:
