Whether you're adjusting to life after amputation or simply getting familiar with an orthotic device to help you walk, your mobility journey starts today—with Blatchford. We’re here to guide you through every step of the way.
During a mobility assessment, a prosthetist will look at an amputee's static & dynamic sitting, as well as asking them to perform standing activities and show their walking gait. Understanding your K-Level is the first step to knowing which product is going to be best suited for you.
We designed the Elan range of microprocessor feet to deliver the most natural feeling experience yet when it comes to prosthetic feet. See how Elan IC has helped Sian on her road to recovery and social media fame.
Medicare Part B covers prosthetic devices needed to replace a body part or function when a Medicare-enrolled doctor or other health care provider orders them. For Medicare to pay for your prosthetic device, you must go to a Medicare-enrolled supplier. This is true no matter who submits the claim (you or the provider).
Medicaid will cover the cost of an artificial leg due to a disability if a physician or healthcare provider states that it's medically necessary. Medicaid programs don't all cover prosthetic devices in the same way or to the same extent. The best way to see how your state handles this kind of coverage is to contact your local agency and ask about it.
