Will Your Medical Insurance Pay for Support Hose?

Helpful Tips for Successful Reimbursement

While Medicare does not cover compression hosiery except for treatment of Venous Stasis Ulcers ( more info ), we've heard from many of our customers that they have found the "recipe" for success.We've posted a couple of new items in our knowledgebase that might help you get reimbursed for your support hose.

The first is a document from Aetna that outlines the criteria that must be met for reimbursement from some of their plans ( more info ). Overall, if your physician has prescribed at least a compression of 20mmHg for one of their listed medical conditions, they would cover compression hose in their listed medical plans.

While we can't guarantee success for everyone, just sending this document with your claim may help. If you have any questions about this document, just send us a message ( email for document questions ) and we'll do our best to help.
