COOLING GARMENTS
We receive a lot of questions about whether or not insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid will cover cooling garments. The answer varies by provider and plan, so we encourage you to contact your provider. We understand that insurance companies will sometimes, depending on your situation, cover the cost of a vest once you have met your deductible, so it is worth the inquiry.
Here is some helpful information:
POST-SURGERY THERAPY SYSTEM
We encourage you to contact your insurance company to see if they will allow you to submit a claim for reimbursement for our Active Ice® System.
Here is some helpful information: - When you purchase an Active Ice® System or accessory directly from us, please request a priced receipt, which we will be happy to include with your package.
- We do not need a prescription from your doctor, but it may be required by your insurance company.
