It is not part of the L-Codes in the United States so there could be a 
problem with billing and given the fee schedule on some of the L-Codes it 
could cost an extra $500 - $1000 to add the material if you can find a 
prosthetist willing to do it.

Some of Tony's clients swear that it works, but phantom pain is such a 
mystery that - modern medicine - still likes to drug the patient so getting a 
script for the prosthetist could also be a problem.
