Friends with disabilities need to pay attention: what you don't know about the hidden rules of the prosthetic industry

The prosthetic industry serves disabled friends, but with the fierce competition in the industry and the increasing number of hidden rules, disabled friends are even worse off. I also have a lot of frustration in my stomach. Faced with numerous disabled friends who unfortunately have had their limbs amputated, I can only lament their misfortune and remain angry. I have heard that many brands of prosthetics could have been installed for 20000 to 30000 yuan, but they spent 40000 to 50000 yuan. Later, I regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Faced with such incidents, amputees are certainly pitiful, but prosthetic companies are also devoid of morality.

Faced with such situations, the editor cannot help but remain silent and hopes that through this article, more disabled friends can avoid falling into hidden rules and protect their own interests.

About doctors:

It is no secret that doctors accept kickbacks from equipment manufacturers. This trend is also prevalent in the prosthetic industry, and most hospitals also have cooperative prosthetic companies, including braces and prosthetics.

. There is no way to say about braces, they need to be selected during the treatment period. Doctors have strong control. If you want to find them yourself, firstly, there is no way out. Secondly, if the doctor says that the hospital is not responsible for any problems, you will have to suffer silently. For this device, the prosthetic company has to pay doctors more than 40% of the cost, usually around 45%. It can only be said that doctors are much more profitable than prosthetic companies. Without a doctor's introduction, prosthetic companies can't do it. As for prosthetics, they cannot be installed during the treatment period. The doctor's control is not as strong, and the kickback has also decreased significantly, but it is still around 20% (which is also very high). Many doctors dare not be too obvious when it comes to controlling prosthetic limbs, and their methods are obscure. Be a bit timid, just recommend this company and let them know as soon as there are amputees; Those who are brave have more means, and the more common ones include:

Firstly, having nurses guard and not allowing other companies to visit the patient. They rush to see anyone, claiming that they cannot disturb the patient's rest. However, the cooperating company always gives the green light. As a result, the patient is not familiar with the industry and can only listen to them. How do you think the patient would choose? Secondly, shortly after entering the hospital, doctors and nurses give patients brainwashing "advice" every day. Nowadays, there are many scammers who claim to be lawyers or prosthetic companies. Many patients in the hospital have already been deceived. If such people come to find you, you should inform the doctors and nurses as soon as possible, and secondly, do not disclose your information to avoid being deceived. This brainwashing approach strengthens patients' vigilance, without sufficient communication, patients naturally cannot judge which prosthetic company is good. But for prosthetic companies that cooperate with doctors, they can definitely obtain patients' addresses and contact information through doctors, so that the company can gain more initiative and have a higher success rate. Thirdly, prosthetics are assembled after the treatment is complete. If the patient has already been discharged, the doctor may not be able to meet in person or speak. In this situation, some doctors may tell the patient at the time of discharge that they must come back for a follow-up examination before installing prosthetics. When they come back for a follow-up examination, the doctor may say, 'After the examination, the prosthetic can be installed.' I will call the prosthetic company to pick you up for installation. Honest people are obediently pushed away.

For the introduction of doctors, the editor suggests that it is best not to install them, because doctors are not familiar with prosthetics. Choosing a prosthetic company to cooperate with does not mean choosing the best partner. As long as the qualifications are good and the points given are high, it is enough. However, this is not the most important consideration. The most important thing is still safety, because after all, retracting the buckle is not transparent. Finding a trustworthy person to cooperate with is the most important consideration for doctors.

. Don't think that just because this doctor is a relative or friend of LaBian, it's impossible to take back the deduction. There are a lot of things that can be accepted without delay, as the saying goes, 'don't eat until you're cooked.'. If you want to install it, the editor suggests going to other qualified prosthetic companies to install it, as it can save a lot of money. Generally, it is not easy for disabled friends to make money in the future.

About Lawyer Introduction:

Lawyers (mainly referring to legal assistants who do not have a lawyer's practice qualification certificate, real lawyers generally dare not mess around) may sound like a noble profession, but as long as you delve deeper into it, you will know that it is also a very dark thing, especially for law firms that specialize in dealing with traffic accidents and work-related injuries. I won't go into detail about dealing with traffic police and labor bureaus, giving gifts and kickbacks. Those who hastily sign a lawyer are nine out of ten regretful because the fees are too high. Generally, lawyers who file lawsuits for traffic accidents have a collection rate of 8% to 10% (depending on the compensation amount, insurance is available, and compensation amounts of over 300000 yuan are generally within this range). The editor suggests not choosing a fee lower than 8%, because there are only two reasons for this fee: first, lack of experience, and second, it can be collected elsewhere (such as for installing prosthetics, some fees can be as high as 50% or more, so the points charged by lawyers are actually higher, and the ethics of such lawyers are also a problem. It is possible to charge the car owner money for low compensation). Those who receive high fees will need to spend money to establish connections. Anyway, don't think lawyers are too noble. Money is the primary motivation. Don't think you can make a profit from writing articles, and your wool comes from sheep.

For the methods of lawyer control, the most common ones are:

First, take you directly to a prosthetic company. In the lawyer and prosthetic company's soft and hard work, few people can resist it, and in the end, they will just pretend recklessly. Generally, in this situation, giving more than 30% is normal, as the saying goes, you can't get up early without benefits.

. Secondly, through intimidation tactics. You usually need a prosthetic certificate issued by a prosthetic company when you install prosthetics. If you want to go to a prosthetic company that is not recommended by a lawyer, the lawyer will come to threaten you, saying that if you go to another prosthetic company to install prosthetics, the certificate cannot be guaranteed to be valid, or that the certificate issued by another company is invalid. Thirdly, before putting on prosthetic limbs, inform the lawyer that they need to first check the qualifications of the prosthetic company. This type of lawyer is much smarter, seemingly considering disabled friends, but in reality? After reading it, he said that it would be better to cooperate with this company, so let's go to this one. Do you know that in court, a lawyer only needs a prosthetic company to provide a prosthetic certificate? As long as the company has the permission of the civil affairs department to operate, it has legal reference value. It's like being a tertiary hospital. Do you think it's possible for one company to provide a valid certificate while the other is invalid? That's nonsense. Fourth, lawyer guarantees or advances. Many disabled friends have already spent a lot of money on treatment, and insurance companies do not provide funding, so they are in financial difficulties and temporarily have no money to install prosthetics. They must wait for compensation. If some prosthetic companies cooperate with lawyers, they will ask lawyers to provide guarantees or advance funds, but they must go to the prosthetic company designated by the lawyer. For such situations, some prosthetic companies have already made strategic adjustments. As long as they are locals, many can handle debt settlement and pay off after compensation is received, without the need for a lawyer to guarantee. Similarly, you can also install wherever you want.

Of course, there are other means, and disabled friends also need to be more careful. Remember:Lawyers are hired to help you with the lawsuit. If this lawyer is not available, hire another one.

; The certificate issued by the prosthetic company only needs to have qualifications, and there is no need for lawyers to participate. Lawyers only need to say what qualifications the prosthetic company needs (for example, lawyers need a certificate issued by a company approved by the provincial or local civil affairs department, which is reasonable). Which prosthetic company does not need to follow the lawyer's instructions. Lawyers generally have higher control points than doctors, mainly due to their control power, and those who need to file lawsuits are compensated, resulting in higher rates of fraud. Lawyers forcibly control it, usually charging around 40%, and even lower fees can be over 15%, with more commonly ranging from 20% to 30%. I have also seen many disabled friends use 45000 yuan to install 23000 yuan prostheses, and I am truly saddened by their misfortune and angry.

About changing products:

Changing products means that when you go to install them, you agree on this one, and then intentionally adjust it to have problems, and then recommend domestic or other cheaper products to you, and then the price is similar to the original one, to deceive disabled friends. Such malicious prosthetic companies will do whatever it takes. For example, the price of the complete set of Ottobock 3R80 is around 47000 yuan. Some prosthetic companies need to pay for lawyers or doctors, and if a disabled friend compares and knows the price, they will have to install it for you at this price. But given a kickback at this price, let alone a loss, at least there's no money to make. But why would he agree to do this unprofitable business for you? Don't expect him to be kind-hearted, remember that companies are all chasing profits, it's just him who has even worse intentions. Just like what I just said, if I don't adjust it well for you and then exchange the product for you, it's reasonable for Ottobock 3R80 to be priced at 47000 yuan. It's also reasonable for the profit of the prosthetic company, but giving kickbacks would result in losses or no money to make. It's absolutely impossible not to exchange the product for you.

Therefore, for disabled friends, do not replace the product. You must negotiate the product price with the prosthetic company in advance. If it is not suitable, you must unconditionally refund all the deposit and then choose another prosthetic company to assemble it.

.

Of course, there are other alternative rules, such as malicious attacks by the internet navy. Now it is not suitable to ask Baidu for help, whether it is true or false. A warning to disabled friends is that the content of websites that are not trustworthy (such as Baidu Tieba, Baidu Knows, etc., which are mostly maliciously attacked by peers) is more false and less true. When choosing a prosthetic company, the first thing to consider is its qualifications. Companies with good qualifications will never be worse than those with less qualifications. Secondly, it's about comparing more. Don't be afraid of trouble, go to several prosthetic companies to compare. This way, you will have a bottom line on the price. As long as you compare, not only can you save money, but you can also dress better. Thirdly, be careful with control. Introduction is acceptable, but strong control is already without moral bottom line. Money is the only concern, and disabled friends need to keep their eyes open.

Without further ado, I hope more disabled friends can open their eyes, save money as much as possible, and install good products..
