Crutches
I had a customer recently purchase a pair of Tornado crutch tips for forearm crutches. We got to talking about her sons crutches. He currently has a pair of aluminum adjustable forearm crutches. The adjustment holes constantly “egg” out and wear down to the next hole. This causes the crutch not only to fit well but creates more noise and stress!
I mentioned 0ur aluminum alloy crutches that are custom made-avoiding adjustment holes and increasing the overall strength of the crutch. She asked me about insurance and would they pay for a new pair of crutches. Her insurance carrier is Cigna and she referred to her book-they will cover durable medical goods and appliances-also known as crutches! We have talked about insurance payments before but in light of my recent conversation I thought it was worth mentioning again.
For those of you who may want to keep up with the latest medical news on stem cell research and other advanced procedures-I have added a news feed on my crutch lens. For those of you a little more adventerous I have a news feed on medical tourism that is updated hourly.
Hope you enjoy the latest news and events.
