Cost of prostheses and compensation

About the cost

The cost of the prosthesis consists of the cost of the work and the components used.

Accessories

In our opinion, this is the most important part of any prosthesis. If the sleeve is high quality, the use of the prosthesis will be a joy, if not, it will turn into hell. And no expensive "hardware" will save your prosthesis. After all, if gold shoes are too small for you by 4 sizes, you will not be able to walk in them, despite the fact that they are golden. This is a costly element - the cost of work, including prosthetics, training in the use of a prosthesis, walking training (for lower limbs) and accompanying the patient throughout the entire period of use of the prosthesis.

At any level of amputation, a prosthetic attachment system is needed." This is one of the components of the price of the prosthesis. In the sections for each level of amputation, we have described the existing systems.

Feet – the feet can be from wooden, (for 20 thousand rub.), to microprocessor-controlled (1.5 million rubles.). Each foot is selected individually for the patient, taking into account a number of factors. Hands can be plastic with PVC coating, (for 5-7 thousand rub.), or they can be microprocessor-controlled with a silicone shell (up to 5 million rubles.).

Knee modules can be mechanical from 25 thousand rubles, mechanical-hydraulic from 200 thousand rubles, and with microprocessor control from 1.5 million. Elbow joints can be mechanical (with different types of fixation and from this the price is from 50 to 500 thousand rubles) and with microprocessor control (from 300 thousand rubles up to 2 million rubles).

Ways to get compensation

According to the current legislation, there are two ways to get a prosthesis at the expense of the state

By prescription - an appeal to the SFR or DSZN body

Description

Contacting the SFR or DSC body (depending on the place of residence) and receives a referral to receive a prosthesis at the prosthetic company with whom the contract is concluded. After receiving the prosthesis, the patient signs documents that he is satisfied with everything and the body transfers money for this patient.

Positive

No financial expenses Territorial proximity - most likely the PROP will be in the patient's region of residence.

Minuses

The patient cannot choose a prosthetic company, as well as the complete set of the prosthesis, since everything is prescribed in a pre-concluded contract

With compensation - submission of documents for the independent purchase of a prosthesis.

Description

Self-selection of a prosthetic company, purchase of a prosthesis at your own expense, and submission of documents for compensation to the SFR or DSCN body (depending on the place of residence)

Positive

The patient can choose the place of prosthetics himself It is possible to choose the complete set of the prosthesis that is most suitable for the patient's requirements;

Minuses

Financial costs – where to get money for a prosthesis (we solve this problem with interest–free loans to patients from our PrOP, so this is not a problem for us) Territorial - most likely the PrOP will be in another region On what terms and what amount will be compensated (we track executed and concluded contracts and can determine the amount of compensation with a 90% probability).
