Hello List members,
?
I have seen an interesting website and getting emails from directamputeesupply.com. It is basically a website that sells socks,?sheaths, patient care items directly to the patient. I asked them if you need a prescription for their supplies and their answer is as follows:
?
No prescription needed if you are purchasing supplies for yourself and you know the sizes you require.? If you get reimbursed from your insurance company for prosthetic items, you'll receive a receipt for items purchased.
I would like to hear your input on this and will post it. I am not as concerned specifically about what items that are available, but what items may become available from online companies. Where might this take us in the future?
Thanks,
Jeff Ropp, C.P.
PS. If you wish I do not include your reply please let me know
