FAQ
Do you accept patients’ insurance?
Yes.
OP Specialty Bracing works with most major insurance plans and strives to support patients within their existing coverage whenever possible. While coverage varies by payer and individual plan, our team aligns closely with your prescribed plan of care and helps facilitate the reimbursement process.
Following the initial evaluation, our billing team verifies eligibility, benefits, and authorization requirements, and communicates estimated out-of-pocket costs directly to the patient or family. If a plan is out-of-network, patients are informed promptly so they can make fully informed decisions.
As with all Durable Medical Equipment, coverage determinations ultimately rest with the patient’s insurance carrier and are subject to plan-specific terms, conditions, and exclusions. Our goal is to provide transparency and guidance throughout the process while supporting access to the orthotic and prosthetic care you prescribe.

Yes.
