    I have used Scott Sabolich as a consultant in the past. http://scottsabolich.com/. He proved to be responsive and his costs were reasonable.

    Pricing will vary by geography and componentry. In what zip code does you case reside. Does your case already have a prosthesis? If so, contact the prosthetist or obtain a copy of the invoices or EOBs. Don't forget the routine replacement of single and multiply stump socks necessary with changes in stump size and condition. I know, I know, residual limb, not stump.

    Once you know the componentry and geography the VA fee schedule can be used to price out most anything.
