Our practice has specialties, including vertigo, TMJ disorders, neck and back issues, aquatics, industrial biomechanics, and ankle and foot disorders, with orthotics custom made. For these special population patients to then go to another facility to complement their treatment yields more UNNECESSARY eval and co-pay charges generated for the same problem. Our staff is post-graduate certified in their specialties, and can be considered experts in their field. It is a hindrance to patient treatment and a financial burden to the patient and to Medicare to double charge for relocating the medical equipment services such as orthotics. Complete, effective, and comprehensive treatment is cost-effective when available at one location. If restrictions on pricing are needed, so be it, but DO NOT restrict access to these corrective options because they are more often than not the make-or-break final completion to the course of treatment that lets the patient be independent, pain-free and functional, which is of course Medicare's goal!
