Capital Blue Cross
Capital Blue Cross has entered into an agreement with Pro
Support Systems to provide reduced rates for orthotic appliances.
An orthotic is a three-layered shoe insert made to control and
balance the foot while providing cushioned shock absorption.
The discounted price for members (including dependents) will be $265.
This includes the casting. The
usual price could be over $400.00.

Upon receipt of the voucher, the member will choose a provider from
the list.
Remember,
you must select a provider who
participates in the program to
use the discount voucher.
Once you receive the voucher certificate, your
medical insurance will determine the next step.
Capital Blue Cross
Those with Capital Blue Cross will select a provider from the Pro
Support Systems Network and present the voucher to receive your orthotic.
All providers in the Pro Support Systems Network participate in Blue
Cross. The provider will
perform an examination, take a cast impression and provide a prescription
for your orthotic and forward them to the PSS lab.
The provider will charge Blue Cross for all applicable office
visits, x-rays and surgical fees. The
insured will be responsible for the co-pay on these services.
HMO
Members enrolled in an HMO will see their provider and obtain a
prescription from the HMO Provider for the orthotic.
If the provider is a member of the Pro Support Systems Network, the
provider will cast and fit the orthotic.
Should the doctor not be a member of the Pro Support Systems
Network, the patient will select a provider from the Pro Support Systems
Network, present the voucher certificate and the doctor�s prescription
and receive the casting and fitting at no additional charge.
Medicare
The procedures will be the same for Blue Shield.
In all instances, Medicare will be the primary payer for
non-orthotic services.
