Having a benefit plan that helps cover medical devices and services, such as orthotics, braces, compression socks, and chiropody/nursing foot care, can bring real peace of mind when you are in need. We understand that navigating insurance coverage can sometimes feel overwhelming, and BioPed Footcare is here to support you through that process. So, what does the process look like? With millions of unique health benefit plans in place across Canada, most clinics like BioPed do not have access to the specific details of your individual coverage. Both the client and the medical clinic play important roles in the process, so let’s take a look!
Programs such as OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan), HIBC (Health Insurance British Columbia), and MSI (Medical Services Insurance) typically do not cover the items or services offered at BioPed for your foot health.
Pain in the feet can hit at any time. Whether it’s while scoring your next goal or carving it out on the slopes, we’ve got your feet covered with comfort in mind!
Foot pain is more common than you might think—and it often shows up in your heel, the ball of your foot, or around your toes. These small areas bear a lot of pressure every day. When something’s off, even just standing or walking around the house can become painful. The good news? With the right combination of custom orthotics and properly fitted shoes, you can find relief and help prevent things from getting worse.
If you have ever considered getting custom orthotics to help with foot, knee, or back discomfort, you might have one important question: Does third-party insurance cover products like this? In short, yes, but it is plan dependent and there could be limitations or requirements from the insurance company. Understanding third-party insurance can be confusing. This blog will break it down so that you can make an informed decision and keep Doing More!
If you have been dealing with persistent foot, knee, hip or back pain but can’t pinpoint the cause, your feet might be the culprit. Having flat feet might put extra stress on your lower limbs and affect how you move.
Heel pain is a common issue for many adults, often affecting mobility and overall quality of life. It occurs when there is irritation or damage to the soft tissues in the foot, usually due to overuse, injury, or improper footwear.
Let’s be honest, we tend to not think about our feet until they start to feel achy. But as we get older and spend more time on our feet throughout the day, comfort and support matter more than ever. If you’re dealing with foot pain or simply want to feel better by the end of the day, choosing the right footwear is one of the best things you can do for your overall comfort and mobility. The right shoes can make a difference not just in our feet, but also in our knees, hips, and back too!
