Maintenance Program
Total Orthotic Coverage (TOC) is a warranty plan that encompasses all orthotic
modifications and additions deemed necessary by your Health Care Practitioner.
It will also entitle you to a replacement pair in the event of irreparable damage
to your existing custom orthotics. In this case, please return your damaged orthotics
along with the completed Total Orthotic Coverage claim form, which can be obtained
from your practitioner. This applies to the original orthotic. Any change of style
that entails a remake will incur a $50 charge.
Casts or scans for each Total Orthotic Coverage member are stored for the two year
period of the agreement beginning on the date payment is received, making the
replacement of either one or both devices fast and accurate. Orthotic devices
fabricated by a different lab can also be refurbished at a charge and upon
completion can be enrolled in the program. Casts or scans must be provided for
future replacements.
Replacement of Custom Orthotics
We realize that a custom orthotic can be lost or stolen, and as such the Total
Orthotic Coverage warranty helps you obtain a replacement pair for only $50 in
addition to your enrollment fee. Visit your Health Care Practitioner, who will
assist you in completing a TOC warranty form. Your practitioner will re-examine
you for a new cast or scan to ensure that the requested orthotic replacement meets
your needs. Your Health Care Practitioner will send the order along with the
completed warranty form to The Orthotic Group. In approximately two weeks, your
replacement should arrive at their office. The fee of $50 should be paid directly
to your Health Care Provider. All elements of coverage remaining on the lost or
stolen pair will extend to the new pair, provided the appropriate documentation,
payment and casting or scan have been received. If the Total Orthotic Coverage
warranty was not renewed with the replacement pair, any modifications,
additions or repairs will incur a charge.
Extended Warranty & Maintenance Program
The Orthotic Group offers a program to support the success of your orthotic
therapy while simultaneously reducing additional costs associated with any
modifications, additions, repairs or replacements that may be required.
The Total Orthotic Coverage membership is valid for two years,
beginning on the date The Orthotic Group receives your payment and application.
This coverage runs concurrently with your standard three month patient
compliance guarantee and six month guarantee against defects in material
and workmanship.
All TOG Orthotics are Covered
If your custom orthotic devices were manufactured by The Orthotic Group,
they are eligible for the Total Orthotic Coverage warranty. To begin benefitting
from the TOC warranty, please complete the attached application form and submit
to The Orthotic Group within eight weeks of the date your orthotics shipped
from The Orthotic Group.
Children’s Outgrowth Program
At The Orthotic Group, we understand how crucial proper-fitting orthotics can
be for growing feet, and as you well know, children’s feet grow quickly!
In order to accommodate the rapid growth of younger patients, Total Orthotic
Coverage includes one FREE replacement orthotic per warranty period for the
pair that has been outgrown. This protection extends to all children under
the age of 18 and encompasses all TOG orthotic styles. A $50 charge applies
to any additional outgrowth replacements within the warranty period.
To participate in this element of the Total Orthotic Coverage warranty,
outgrown orthotics must be returned to The Orthotic Group directly within
14 days of the receipt of your new orthotics.
Total Orthotic Coverage Renewal
The Total Orthotic Coverage warranty is renewable after the two year extended
warranty period is over. We do recommend a re-evaluation by your Health Care
Practitioner at least once every two years to ensure that your prescription
still meets all of your needs, or if some alterations to your orthotics will
be necessary. Significant changes in foot structure can occur over two years,
and your Health Care Practitioner will help to determine your progress and
future therapeutic needs.
Casts or scans for each Total Orthotic Coverage member are stored for the two year
period of the agreement beginning on the date payment is received.
If you would like to enroll for renewal of the Total Orthotic Coverage warranty,
your practitioner will require a new cast to continue your coverage.
Each renewal period will cover an additional two years.

credit card information or a check in the amount of either the per-pair ($50) or
