How much does an AFO cost?

The amount your insurance provider will pay for an AFO varies based on your unique policy and insurance fee schedule. To get a better idea of your out of pocket cost, you can work with your healthcare provider and health insurance carrier. The applicable billing codes for our carbon fiber AFOs are L1932 (anterior style) and L1951 (posterior style). Your insurance provider should have a predetermined coverage amount for these associated billing codes.


Will my insurance cover your product?

Carbon Fiber AFOs are often covered by insurance but due to variables in policies and plans, we cannot provide any guarantee of coverage. The best way to verify coverage is to call your health insurance provider to determine coverage for HCPCS code L1932 (anterior style) and L1951 (posterior style) AFOs.


Can you bill my insurance?

No, we do not bill insurance. We can help connect you with a local medical professional that is in network with your insurance. 


Can I buy an AFO directly from Thrive or online?

No, we do not sell our products directly. These type of products work best when fit by a certified medical professional with specialized training in product selection and customization for fitting.


Can you ship to my country?

Please provide us your country of residence and we will determine if we have a distribution partner that could serve you.
