Does Medicaid reimburse families in NC for the use of Theratogs?

"NC Medicaid does not reimburse families for out of pocket expenses. NC Medicaid can only provide payment to an orthotist for TheraTogs. If a family would like reimbursement for their out of pocket expense, the family and the therapist would have to find an orthotist who would agree to submit the required paperwork to NC Medicaid and agree to reimburse the family once the orthotist's claim to NC Medicaid was paid. Reimbursing families of children enrolled in IT-P who pay out of pocket for DME on the advice of the Service Coordinator or therapist has increased. Most state program funds can not provide payment to families, only providers." Liz Reeser, North Carolina Regional Physical Therapy Consultant
