Hello All:
I’m an orthotist in San Antonio. I have a couple therapists interested in providing, or at least looking into providing Theratogs. They are new to me, but are very interesting. I’m sure there are applications for them in our pediatric population, well that is if they perform as indicated in video demo. Their website is: http://www.theratogs.com/.
They would like help on reimbursement issues and who is best fit to provide
(aka, bill for and get reimbursed) them if indicated.
I noticed on their list of providers was Hanger along with some other O&P companies. I would like to know if anyone in O&P is using these, are you getting paid, and if so how. I am not really interested in providing these, but the question was brought to me.
If any therapists are listening in (lol), I would like to know if you are getting paid by insurance companies and medicaid, especially Texas Medicaid, for these. It
really seems to me to be a therapy device, and I would prefer therapists bill for it if they can. There is too much training involved for orthotists, aka office visits.
I will post responses with names unless you request your name be withheld.
