my ortho recommended it and i'm fighting with my insurance company right now to cover it (some do. . .blue cross doesn't). . .it's not terribly expensive, it's just the principle. . .i'm self-employed and i pay around $1,000/mo. for health insurance for my family and i and the insurance company doesn't want to cover an extremely economical device that has allowed me to put off total knee replacements (waaaaaaayyyyy expensive) for an indefinite period. . .they're stupid fucking assholes. . .sorry for the soapbox rant. . .
bottomline? i don't know if you need a scrip if the insurance company ain't gonna cover it anyway. . .i got it from these people
