Medical Devices Instructions & Warranties

Important Information Regarding the Medical Product You Will Receive

Inspired Spine is providing you with the brace, splint, support and/or other medical device that the healthcare professional has prescribed for your care. It is our policy to provide high quality products to support the healthcare professional’s protocol for treatment. Inspired Spine will bill your insurance company for the product.

Remember that if the bill is denied or is not covered by your insurance company, you will be responsible for payment in full of this bill.

If you do not wish to receive this product from the healthcare professional, you may ask your healthcare professional for a prescription. The prescription can be billed at a local Orthotic & Prosthetic shop or a medical supply company.

Fitting and Safety Instructions

Apply and remove the brace as instructed at the time of fitting or described in detail with the instructions for use. Wear the brace for the period described by your healthcare professional. The brace can be cleaned with mild soap and water and allowed to air dry only. Should the brace result in increased pain, decreased feeling (numbness/tingling), increased swelling or an overall worsening of your medical condition, please contact our office immediately. If an emergency occurs from wearing the brace after our business hours, please dial 911 and seek immediate medical attention. Please contact our office should you have any questions about the brace issued to you.

It is against the Medicare Secondary Payer laws to accept payment from a beneficiary upon admission or when services are being rendered when another insurer is primary to Medicare.
