3.7.2.1 Replacement of Orthoses/Prostheses
Replacement of an orthotic/prosthetic device is considered when loss or irreparable damage has occurred. A copy of the police or fire report is required when appropriate, along with the measures to be taken to prevent recurrence or similar loss. Supporting medical documentation is required for the replacement of an orthotic or prosthetic device if less than 6 months from the actual date the client received the device. If less than 1 year since initial purchase, the request for replacement is referred to the medical director for review.
