[QUOTE="Vocabulary whiz, post: 391848"] Be sure your provider understands difficult terms such as "in lieu of". I went round and round with Aetna and a podiatrist because his incompentent staff did not understand that they needed to write a letter stating that orthotics were necessary "in lieu of" surgery. I though Aetna was the problem until I finally had the doctors staff repeat back exactly what they were told by Aetna (which, coincidently enough was exactly what they told me). You should have seen their indignation when I explained that "in lieu of" was the same as saying "INSTEAD of". Finally they wrote the proper letter and I received my orthotics at 100%. Orthotics worked for me for about a year or two then I was able to switch back to normal shoe inserts. Try getting real sturdy 6" boots like Redwings and ditch the tennis shoes. Redwings have some nice heat activated inserts that hold up well too. Since the shoes and inserts last up to 2 years, they are actually cheaper over time than the crappy chinese shoes most people wear at work. Union made! [/QUOTE]
