Is it time for a new prosthesis, or maybe this is your first one. The dreaded question, how am I going to pay for this? PBO Group not only manufactures your prosthesis, but also assists you through the entire billing process.
I bet you didn’t know there are a wide variety of additional funding sources available within the community for your device. But what options are specific for you? PBO Group will provide you with the necessary resources to determine what funding is available for your device and where to begin. Please see below for a quick list of funding sources we have access to.
Available Funding Sources
- Assistive Devices Program (ADP) – ADP funds 75% up to a maximum of an approved price.
What does that mean? It means you have available funding if you are an Ontario resident and have a valid Ontario Health Card!
But, how often can you receive a new prosthesis through the Assistive Devices Program? ADP will fund a new prosthesis every 3 years. ADP applications can be found in our office where they are signed, completed and mailed on your behalf.
- Ontario Disability Support Program/Ontario Works(ODSP/OW) – Are you in receipt of ODSP or OW funding? ODSP can provide financial assistance benefits for medical supplies and equipment such as prostheses. Contact your case manager to find out your eligible benefits!
- Private Insurance – Do you receive private insurance benefits? Our office works daily with many insurance companies; Sunlife Financial, Manulife Financial, Great West Life, or Green Shield. Our office can submit the necessary paperwork to your insurance company on your behalf.
