DS1 has hypermobility where he walks in his toes instead of walking "Heal to Toe"

He has night time splints and inserts for his shoes and exercises to also do to correct the condition.

So far we've spent about $1000 out of pocket to correct this condtion (dont get me wrong, we would spend anything to help our children!)

We were wondering if we can claim anything on Medicare towards the costs?? We have private health but it's Hospita Cover only.

Anything is better than nothing to help with the costs as it's going to be an ongoing treatment for around 4 yrs.

Thank you!!
