Health insurance benefits are inadequate to meet all of an amputee patient’s needs and very few patients with traumatic amputations/limb loss have the funds to pay for a “state of the art prosthetic device, and other needed supports and services”. It is important that you call for an eligibility determination and investigation of the cause of your injury as soon as possible after your accident. Private Funding is a financial bridge from the time your accident occurred until the successful completion of your case by settlement or verdict. See Major Victories.
Private Funding for individuals with traumatic limb loss supplements your available insurance. Funding is available in 38 states to eligible individuals and pays for the following benefits:
  • Customized Prosthetic Device
  • Upper Extremity Prostheses
  • Lower Limb Prostheses
  • Health Insurance Co-Payments/Deductibles
  • Extended/Outpatient Therapies
  • Assistance with Utilities/Household Expenses
  • Income Assistance
  • Purchase of Vans and Vehicle Modifications
  • Rental and Mortgage Assistance
  • Ramps and Home Modifications

Frequently Asked Questions about Private Funding® for Prosthetics

Why should families use Private Funding?

Private health insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid are inadequate to meet your prosthetic needs.

Where does the private funding come from?

Third party private companies will advance funding to eligible claimants to pay for needed supports and services.

What types of accidents that cause traumatic limb loss and amputations may be eligible for Private Funding?

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Electrocutions
  • Explosions
  • Crush injuries
  • Defective products (product liability)
  • Fires (hover boards, faulty smoke detectors)
  • Construction accidents
  • Work place accidents
  • Power tool and machinery accidents
  • Recreational injuries (ATV’s, motorcycles)
  • Agricultural and farm accidents
  • Medical negligence (medical malpractice)

How is eligibility determined?

My investigators and experts examine the facts and circumstances of a particular case to identify whether there is a party or parties responsible for the disabling, traumatic injury. The private funding is a financial bridge from the time your accident occurred until the successful completion of your settlement or verdict.

If I accept the Private Funding, will I still be eligible for governmental benefits?

Yes, receipt of Private Funding does not affect eligibility for governmental benefits such as Medicaid, SSI, Medicare, Home and Community Based Waiver programs and worker’s compensation.
