Orthotics - MEDICAID - OKLAHOMA
HUMANA-ORTHOTICS-OK-MEDICAID
Covers orthotics — braces, splints, supports and related devices (prefabricated and custom fabricated, e.g., wrist‑hand orthoses, foot‑drop splints, orthopedic shoe modifications) used to support, align, prevent or correct deformities and improve function. Indications include paraplegia (T7–L5 when accompanied by a trained caregiver; T4–T6 limited to rehabilitation institutions), select spinal conditions (C1–2 rotatory subluxation pre‑fusion, severe thoracolumbar deformity), unstable fractures, and certain elbow and lower‑extremity disorders, but coverage requires a physician prescription, clinical documentation of medical necessity and appropriate therapy, is subject to the member’s plan and device‑specific institutional/caregiver restrictions, and typically allows replacement every 1–3 years.
