My insurance totally covered my splints and the fitting. I just got mine in December 07, and of course, they way over charge the insurance company for them, so that they get what they want, we all know that. They say they don't, but they do. Altogether, they charged my insurance company $226.84 and the insurance paid $41.76, which is about the same thing I paid for them 10 yrs ago in Michigan, I am now in New York. He actually, just put them on my hands, to make sure they were the right size and that was it. Now my friend, he said the guy bent it this way, and that way, and spent a lot of time adjusting it to fit his hand. He didn't spend anytime adjusting it to mine, I found that weird.

Ten years ago when I had first them, I was to wear them for 3 weeks, 24 hours a day, and I was put on anti-inflamatory meds. They do help, while you are wearing them, but they greatly limit what you can do, and never drive with them on! FYI: If you get in an accident, you can be sued because you are wearing them! I was not informed of that until this time. I can't work wearing one on my right hand, I can not write with one on. They may help you. My neuro tells me to at least wear them while sleeping and any time I am doing any lifting, anything that puts stress on my hands.
