List members;

 

Here is my original post:

 

I have been asked by a lawyer to put together a cost for future prosthetic













 
care for a new TF patient. I know this has been sent out on the list serve













 
before, but does anyone have a formula for expected future prosthetic cost













 
considering basic care, repairs, consumables, rate increases, ect.
 
 
Below is a summary of the responses:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
John Michael, CPO has information for a life care plan, contact him directly
 
 
Initial prosthesis cost plus 10% for yearly repairs
 
 
Initial costs plus 15% for yearly repairs with replacements every 3 years
 
 
Life care planner, Victoria Powell, www.vp-medical.com
 
 
One theme that was constant was that the information should be performed by
a third party. This will eliminate the thought that the prosthetic company
is padding the cost for their own benefit.
 
 

Thanks to all who took the time to respond.
