Coverage and costs
The HyProCure procedure may be covered by your insurance plan. Check with your foot and ankle specialist or with your insurance carrier for specific coverage details as coverage terms can vary among the different insurance plans and regions.
Fortunately, for those patients without available coverage, the procedure can be performed as an in-office procedure with rates typically ranging from $2,500 to $4,500 per foot in the United States. (International costs will vary.) If you don't have coverage available for the procedure, be sure to discuss an out-of-pocket package price with your doctor, as well as any financing and/or payment options that may be available.
The alternatives compared
When hyperpronation is present, the symptoms and complications associated with the condition are sure to eventually appear. At this point, something will typically have to be done because the complications will compromise the patient's well-being. HyProCure not only instantly corrects the source of these problems for life, but it also represents the least expensive option by a large margin. Let's take a look at a few alternatives:
Orthotics
Orthotics, especially custom made ones—are far from inexpensive. When the cost of the many pairs and repaddings needed throughout a patient's life are factored in, the totals are often many times larger than the cost of HyProCure. And most importantly, orthotics can only deliver a partial, simulated fix at best, as no orthotic is able to provide an internal correction to an internal problem.
Physical therapy, prescription drugs, and other treatments
As the symptoms of talotarsal dislocation begin to manifest themselves not only in the foot but also in the knees, hips, back, and even neck, patients will seek help to deal with the pain and complications. Solutions typically presented to them will include physical therapy sessions, prolonged prescription drug regimens, cortisone shots, and even non-traditional approaches like holistic medicine and acupuncture. The cumulative expenses of these treatments over a lifetime far exceed the cost of resolving the root of the problem with HyProCure.
Highly invasive foot surgery
In some cases, patients will be presented with the option of undergoing different types of foot surgery to address some of their symptoms in the feet. These range from reconstructive rear-foot surgery to plantar fasciitis release and more. While in a very small number of extreme cases some of these surgeries may be required, in the vast majority of patients any and all of these highly invasive surgical procedures can be completely avoided by resolving the root of the foot deformity with HyProCure instead. Aside from a dramatic advantage from invasiveness, recovery time, and potential complications, the costs associated with HyProCure are only a small fraction of any of the more invasive options.
Expensive lifestyle changes
Many times, patients who suffer from the symptoms and secondary conditions of talotarsal dislocation will fall prey to marketing hypes offering to "cure" their problems. The list includes incredibly expensive mattresses, specialty armchairs, massagers, rollers, orthotics... and the list goes on — all promising to have the secret to pressure-point relief and body alignment. While some of these items can have value in terms of comfort and individual taste, none of them can possibly address nor resolve the real cause of the many problems throughout the body stemming from talotarsal dislocation. Often, a single one of these products will cost much more than the HyProCure procedure.
Your quality of life
The most important cost of not addressing this condition at its root is your ability to enjoy a richer, fuller life. From being pain free and more active and energized, to experiencing a huge self-confidence boost, resolving talotarsal dislocation and its negative side effects brings quality of life benefits that far surpass any monetary measure.
Financing available
Several financing options are readily available to aid those patients without insurance coverage for the procedure.
Your HyProCure specialist can discuss the different options available to you. Be sure to discuss this information at the time of your appointment in order to find the financing plan that best fits your needs.
