Custom Foot Orthotics
All of OKAPED’s Custom Foot Orthotics are manufactured in Kelowna at the Okanagan’s 1st Pedorthic lab established in 1997. Pedorthic Services offered at our offices include Biomechanical Assessments of the Lower Extremity, Gait Analysis, Custom Foot Orthotics, Orthopaedic Footwear Modification as well as Repairs.
At OKAPED our clinicians are Canadian Certified Pedorthists. We are one of the few healthcare professionals trained in the assessment of lower limb anatomy and biomechanics as well as the fabrication, fit and function of custom orthotics. Foot orthotics are not simply something we “also” do. It’s our professions specialty.
Insurance Coverage
When checking your Insurance ensure you ask specifically about the eligible Provider. OKAPED’s Canadian Certified Pedorthists are recognized Providers of custom foot orthotics in Canada.
We direct bill to ICBC, Worsafe BC and out of province, RCMP, FNFA Min of Social Development and Veterans Affairs Canada. Pre-authorization is required.
Unfortunately no Private Insurance companies currently allow for direct billing for Custom Foot Orthotics. This has nothing to do with OKAPED it is the policy writers.
