Do I need a prescription?

Ready to wear and standard off the shelf compression garments do not require a prescription.

However, some insurance plans require a doctor's prescription. Check with your insurance plan to see if they cover compression stockings and their documentation requirements.

Will my insurance or Medicare cover compression stockings?

Compression stockings are a non-covered service under Medicare Part B as well as Medicare supplement plans. Medicare will not pay for these items even with a prescription from your doctor.

Some insurance plans will cover the cost of compression hosiery if the stockings are prescribed by a physician and the compression is greater than 20 mmHg. Please contact your insurance carrier to determine if stockings are a covered benefit.

We are unable to accept insurance for compression at Aston Pharmacy Home Health Center. To make this process easier all of our products are competitively priced and compression fittings are free of charge!
