Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Wow, I'm concerned about the cost of replacement AFOs for my husband. We had our first visit to the MDA/CMT clinic recently and had a consult for new braces. We're shocked to hear that they'll cost $3100--this was relayed to us in a voice mail from MDA that announced this as " bad news " . Has anyone had experience with this kind of cost? Could the price have anything to do with the fact that we just got insurance coverage? Can you choose your own orthotist or must you use the particular clinic that does the MDA consults? I've called back twice and left messages that we'd like to speak to that MDA rep and we haven't received a return call in over a week. I must say we're puzzled and disappointed. We'd like to hear from others if this is standard with MDA/CMT--the very slow service (from the beginning) and what we consider extravagant cost associated with the work of the Hanger clinic. What do ya'll do about insurance? We have it through my job. Has anyone had experience with privte insurance and has it been cancelled due to the costs associated with CMT?
