Great West Life, Canada Life, Sunlife, Greenshield, Desjardin to name a few, have indicated that they require an MD/GP prescription for custom orthotic inserts. This prescription does not need to be to our office, just for custom orthotics.
Everyone’s plan is different so, we recommend you contact your healthcare provider directly to make sure you are in compliance with all of your plans requirements.
*when possible try to have your GP/MD include a medical diagnosis along with your prescription.
