Getting the shoes paid for by the insurance!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Thought I'd post this, as I've seen several messages lately about

those nasty insurance companies refusing to pay for the shoes. Our

insurance initially refused to pay for Dinos' shoes when we got the

DBB, but then we found out that they classified the shoes

as " orthotics " (like those custom insoles you can put in your shoes to

keep your feet from hurting). Get a letter from your doctor

specifying that the shoes are not " orthotics, " and that they

are " durable medical equipment, " which most insurance companies do pay

for. That worked for us, and good thing, since I think by the end,

we'd gone through four or five pair of shoes! Keep on fighting!
