Yes. A prosthetic device is affecting your body in one way or another. Therefore, a physician’s approval/prescription will ensure proper treatment of your physical condition and is needed by law. An initial consultation with our clinicians does not require a prescription.

Will I need a physician's prescription?

Will my insurance pay for these services?

Generally, most insurance carriers do pay for most prosthetic services. Our administrative staff is highly knowledgeable in the ever-changing health insurance industry, and we strive to get you the benefits that your policy includes, whether we are included as an in-network or out-of-network provider with your insurance plan. Under either approach, your prosthetist will work with you and our administrative team to determine all of your individual options.

How long will it take for me to get my prosthesis?

The design, custom fabrication and fitting of your prosthesis will normally take 3-6 weeks. It takes an average of 3 or 4 visits with your prosthetist to get the right socket fit and to prepare you to use your prosthesis. We'll do our best to deliver your prosthesis in a timely manner.

I’m facing an amputation in the near future. Is it too soon to contact you?

Absolutely not! One of the most important things that you can have during this time is peace of mind. By coming in for a tour of the facility, introduction to our staff, and a view of different options for componentry and materials, you may reduce some anxieti concerns that you may have about the process after an amputation.

We will gather information from you (height, weight, age, prescribing physician, and medical history).

Working with Handspring has changed my life completely. Not just because of the devices they’ve fitted me with, but because of the standard of care they’ve provided.

My friends are lining up to do things with me that I was unable to do before being fitted with i-limb digits. One of them wanted to be the first to play patty-cake with me.

I didn’t want to wait even one more day before I could start using it. i-limb digits offers me functionality that I can’t get anywhere else – it offers me the ability to grasp.
