abstract: 'Background: This study looked at the effect of patient demographics,
insurance status, education, and patient opinion on whether various
orthotic footwear prescribed for a variety of diagnoses were received by
the patient. The study also assessed the effect of the orthoses on
relief of symptoms. Methods: Chart review documented patient
demographics, diagnoses, and medical comorbidities. Eligible patients
completed a survey either while in the clinic or by phone after their
clinic visit. Results: Of the 382 patients prescribed orthoses, 235
(61.5\%) received their orthoses; 186 (48.7\%) filled out the survey.
Race and whether or not the patient received the orthosis were found to
be significant predictors of survey completion. Race, type of insurance,
and amount of orthotic cost covered by insurance were significant
predictors of whether or not patients received their prescribed
orthoses. Type of orthosis, diabetes as a comorbidity, education,
income, sex, and diagnosis were not significant predictors of whether
the patient received the orthosis. Qualitative results from the survey
revealed that among those receiving their orthoses, 87\% experienced
improvement in symptoms: 21\% felt completely relieved, 66\% felt
better, 10\% felt no different, and 3\% felt worse. Conclusion: We found
that white patients had almost 3 times the odds of receiving prescribed
orthoses as black patients, even after controlling for type of
insurance, suggesting race to be the primary driver of discrepancies,
raising the question of what can be done to address these inequalities.
While large, systematic change will be necessary, some strategies can be
employed by those working directly in patient care, such as informing
primary care practices of their ability to see patients with limited
insurance, limiting blanket refusal policies for government insurance,
and educating office staff on how to efficiently work with Medicare and
Medicaid.'
