Hodgson Orthotics and Prosthetics funding mission is to be an active ally to patients and families while navigating funding options for their treatment cycle. We aim to guide patients through the tiers of paperwork required by government agencies, private healthcare corporations, and charitable organizations to offset the financial burden of treatment as much as possible. We offer two pathways for patients to choose from when proceeding with treatment.
Independent Pathway
Patients may choose the independent pathway to ensure that they are treated as soon as possible. This pathway requires that patients or families are able to pay for treatment costs regardless of whether or not their funding agency has reached a formal decision. By being able to absorb the treatment cost if necessary, our orthotists and prosthetists are able to work without red tape to complete the treatment as soon as possible.
Independent patients are still encouraged to work with our funding guides for support when needed and are eligible to do so as soon as the treatment is underway.
Guided Pathway
The guided pathway is for patients who either are unfamiliar with their funding options, are required to have pre-approval, or for those who prefer to know their personal financial obligation prior to committing to any treatment. Either way, our funding team is here to help!
When booking, our team will have a detailed conversation with you to determine eligible funding options. After your initial assessment appointment, you’ll finalize your treatment plan and your funding strategy.
Our Funding Department coordinates form filling and submission wherever possible. Any actions or information required of the patient or their physician will be discussed when planning to help prevent surprises or slowdowns once treatment is underway.
Once approval amounts have been granted and patients know what their financial responsibility will be, they then may choose to proceed with their treatment. Please reach out to our funding team at funding@hodgsongroup.ca if you have any questions.
