Insurance Filing
We are very willing to assist you in obtaining reimbursement from
your insurance carrier as quickly as possible. We will fill out
and file your insurance forms for you. Be sure to inform us of all
insurances that you carry. Remember that the insurance company payments
will be sent directly to you with YOUR NAME ON THE CHECK.
Please be advised that we will need the following
information to submit a claim to your insurance carrier(s):
1) A valid Doctor's Prescription with a diagnosis
2) Completed Patient Intake form
3) Insurance Cards and Identification to photo copy for our records
Some insurance carriers may require a prior authorization
before any item(s) can be released; eligibility will be verified
prior to providing services. Additional information may be required
to process certain claims. Your insurance carrier does not guarantee
payment until they receive the claim, verify coverage, and check
deductibles. We will let you know as soon as we receive notification
from your carrier. Please notify us immediately if there are any
changes.
Insurance and Billing Information
Payment for all services rendered is the direct responsibility of
the patient or his family regardless of insurance coverage. We do
not accept nor do we generally receive payments from your insurance
company. Your health insurance policy is a contract between you
and your health insurance carrier, not between this facility and
the insurance company.
Confidential Medical Records
Your records are maintained in strict confidence. No information
will be released to any individual or any insurance carrier without
your signed consent. Your actual medical record is the property
of this facility. Hawaii State law requires that the service provider
must be the "keeper of the records." Copies of the records
will be supplied or a summary made and appropriate service fees
charged when the request includes a properly signed release.
Credit Policy
All charges are due and payable at the time of service. A late payment
(FINANCE) charge will be charged on all balances over thirty days
after deducting "payments/credits."
Refunds
Custom made items can not be returned for refunds. Items used in
conjunction with personal hygiene cannot be returned either. Nor
returns after (7) seven days of purchase. No refunds can be issued
on Saturday.
Payments
Payments may be made by personal check, cash, money order, or credit
card (Mastercard, VISA).

O&P News
Certified Prosthetist, Danny Tatum recently completed the WalkAide System 2008 Training Course held in Anaheim, CA. The course covered how to operate the Functional Neuro Stimulator (FNS) primarily used for patients with drop foot, secondary to a stroke. The FNS sends an electrical signal through the anterior its own.
He also completed the Prosthetic Advances Training Course held in Sacramento, CA. The first segment presented was about the Bionic i-LIMB Hand created by Touch Bionics. The fundamental functional difference between the i-LIMB hand and other myo-electric type devices, is that the i-LIMB hand has five independent digits as oppose to the more traditional two point pinch. This hand actually has a thumb that rotates 110 degrees, and is as real to a human hand Mr. Tatum has seen in his 35 plus years in this business.
The second segment was to learn about the new micro processor knee on the market called the Plie’ MPC. Although the processor does not have as many functions as compared to a C-LEG, the great thing about the Plie’ MPC Knee is that it’s waterproof. Mr. Tatum quoted "It may not seem like a big deal but living in Hawaii and being around salt water it does make a difference."
For our viewer’s that has any questions, or would like to know more about these products give us a call and ask for Danny Tatum.
