State Senator Tina Tartaglione (D-2, Philadelphia) joined fellow lawmakers and advocates at the Pennsylvania Capitol to announce the introduction of the “So Every Body Can Move” Act, bipartisan legislation aimed at expanding access to medically necessary prosthetic and orthotic care for Pennsylvanians living with limb loss, limb difference, and mobility impairments.

The legislation has been introduced as Senate Bill 1360 alongside Senator Frank Farry and Senator Judy Ward in the Senate, and Representatives Bridget Kosierowski, Tarik Khan, Valerie Gaydos, and Kyle Donahue are taking lead in the House.

❗️IMPORTANT & LEGISLATION OUT OF HARRISBURG, PA!

🦿🦾 During a busy day at the State Capitol in Harrisburg, PA, there were calls to ensure “everybody can move.” Proposed legislation would require insurance companies to cover prosthetic and orthotic devices when a physician prescribes them, including devices necessary for physical activities and bathing. Currently, insurers in Pennsylvania often only cover standard prosthetics that don’t return the full range of motion.

🟢 "We were very pleased with Union O&P's service. They fixed us right up!"
Kim C - Indiana, PA Office

🟠 "Best orthotic business I’ve ever been associated with in my area!"
Matt M. - Johnstown, PA Office

🟣"Dustin Pringle has been wonderful for our little guy. Our son had a terrible experience at a different company where he received a very long cut to his leg from the provider cutting his mold off wrong. Needless to say, he was traumatized. He would start to panic if we even drove close to the facility where this happened. His braces did not fit, and we couldn’t go back to get them fixed without him being panicked.

Fast forward one year and he is all smiles in his braces. He even ran over to give Dustin a hug the day we picked up his braces. It’s a night and day difference. We are so glad we tried again with a better provider. The office staff is also top notch. Anytime we’ve been there or called it’s been a pleasant experience."
Kayla E. Johnstown, PA Office

🙌 Thank you for trusting Union Orthotics & Prosthetics!
