Pre-amputation consultations can reduce anxiety and help patients prepare for scheduled amputation surgeries. Each Westcoast Brace & Limb client requiring post-amputation care has access to a dedicated Amputee Case Manager.

The Westcoast Brace & Limb Amputee Case Management Team:

• Provides psychosocial support and advocates for each client
• Is responsible for ensuring close communication with clients, physicians, therapists, nurses, case managers, and social workers
• Assists clients in arranging ancillary care and access to social services
• Pro-actively obtains insurance authorizations, required documentation, and handles insurance appeals

Emotional Support

We encourage clients to be active participants in our community. That’s why Westcoast Brace & Limb created our amputee support group, Amputees Together of Florida. The group meets monthly in both Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. There is no charge to attend these inspirational monthly meetings, where clients can learn from ‘people who have been there’. Meetings are open to any individual experiencing limb loss, as well as their friends and family members.
