What should Mr. Cartaya do?

The answer is simple really. This kind of thing happens all the time in my town. Call his insurance provider and tell them his story. Tell them that he needs a new prosthesis or socket replacement or componentry replaced or whatever the case may be. They will most certainly give you an approval to do the right thing. I had a patient just come in 3 weeks ago with a c-leg (by the way, he paid $68,000.00 for it) that he recieved less than a year ago and they approved a new leg for me to make him. The weird thing is that they gave me 4 weeks to do it when they know the last company couldn't fit him in a years time...whatever? I am not going in to details over this, just merely pointing out a direction for Mr. Cartaya to travel in the pursuit of happiness for his patient.
