Recently, following a knee injury, my wife received from her orthopedic practitioner a brace which required no special alterations, a product that sells for $179 on Amazon. Elizur was the provider for this item, charging $889 for this item. Upon contact, they only claimed that this was the price set by the manufacturer of the product. To be clear, the product required no alteration / fitting by the orthopedic practitioner. (Indeed, it was not even given to us by the MD but, rather, only by a medical assistant.) There was no recourse. Such practices stink to high heaven, and even if Elizur is only part of an overall scam by the entire supply line here, this kind of pricing is criminal. We live in a generally impoverished area. It is a shame to think that the people around us would just be bilked like this, all so a bunch of medical sales people and manufacturers can make uncontested billing claims. I hope that these companies get investigated some day for this kind of practice which is part of the filth and lies undergirding the medical system in the US.

Word to the wise: never take any product from your doctor without inquiring. It is a shame to have to say this, but welcome to the greedy world where such people get to profit from others with impunity.
