Will my insurance cover orthotics with a prescription?
If you have diabetes mellitus and a qualifying foot condition, you will most likely have coverage for HCPC code A5513. If you do NOT have diabetes, but you have a commercial insurance plan, you may have coverage. Use HCPC code L3020 to see if your insurance will cover a percentage. This code will fall under your DME (durable medical equipment benefit) and you must meet your deductible BEFORE your insurance will pay.
