A member asked:
Does insurance usually cover prosthetics? does insurance usually cover the cost of prosthetics, or will i have to pay for it out of pocket?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Even when insurance covers the cost of a prosthesis there is often a cost to the person receiving the device. Most commonly the person receiving the device is responsible for about 20% of the cost but again this varies depending on the insurance.
