Legal Answer
Aren't insurance company's wonderful? And you thought they actually cared about what the doctors wanted. Potentially, you have a claim under your policy, but probably not. The "generic" brace may be all that is covered under your policy. You can probably have the carrier pay toward the brace your doctor wants and you can pay the rest. You might ask the doctor if you really need the fancy brace and why.
