A member asked:
Where do you "buy" a prosthetic limb? is it covered by insurance? what about the high-tech ones?

Podiatrist: See a podiatrist or a certified pedorthist to aid you in this search. As far as insurance, there are so many variables it cannot be answered by a simple yes or no.

See below: You can contact a orthotic and prosthetic company. Most basic ones are covered by insurance but check with your company.
