Coverage explained

When Medicare pays for compression stockings

These are two separate benefits with separate rules. Compression: Medicare covers lymphedema compression items with defined limits, generally three daytime garments per affected body part every six months and two nighttime garments every two years, and gradient compression for a qualifying open venous stasis ulcer; standard compression for uncomplicated varicose veins is not automatically covered. Wound care: surgical dressings are covered under Part B only when there is a qualifying wound and the product-specific medical-necessity criteria are met.

  1. 1

    Wound documentation for dressings

    Surgical dressings require a qualifying wound. Your clinician documents wound type, size, drainage level, and change frequency, and each dressing category has its own medical-necessity criteria that determine the covered quantity.

  2. 2

    Compression qualification

    For lymphedema, coverage follows a documented diagnosis and an order for daytime and nighttime garments. For venous disease, Medicare coverage generally requires a qualifying open venous stasis ulcer; compression for uncomplicated varicose veins is not automatically covered.

  3. 3

    Professional measurement

    Compression that doesn't fit doesn't work and doesn't get worn. We take or coordinate accurate limb measurements before ordering.

  4. 4

    Replacement limits

    Garments lose compression with wear. Under Medicare's lymphedema benefit the limits are generally three daytime garments per affected body part every six months and two nighttime garments every two years; other plans set their own limits, which we confirm for yours. We track your eligibility dates so you are not wearing a stretched-out sleeve.

What patients typically pay

We verify your current benefits and provide an estimate of your expected out-of-pocket cost before shipment. Benefit information is not a guarantee of payment; final coverage and patient responsibility are determined when your plan processes the claim.

Official coverage sources

Read the payer rules directly, then let us verify what your own plan allows.

In defined situations. Medicare covers gradient compression of 30-40 mmHg or higher for a qualifying open venous stasis ulcer, and lymphedema compression items with limits of generally three daytime garments per affected body part every six months and two nighttime garments every two years. Standard compression for uncomplicated varicose veins, tired legs, or swelling alone is not automatically covered.

Not by Medicare on their own. Medicare covers compression garments for lymphedema under the Lymphedema Treatment Act and gradient stockings for a qualifying open venous stasis ulcer, varicose veins alone don't meet that bar. Some commercial plans are broader, and when nothing covers it we fit you directly at a clear self-pay price.

It varies. Commercial plans and Medicare Advantage plans often cover medical-grade graduated compression with a prescription and diagnosis. We verify your benefit and quote a fair cash price when it isn't covered.

Yes. Surgical dressings, foams, hydrocolloids, alginates, collagens, and gauze, are covered under Part B when a qualifying wound is documented, with quantities based on wound size, drainage, and change frequency.

New York Medicaid and managed care plans cover dressings with a prescription and wound documentation. We coordinate directly with your wound care clinic for the change orders. We verify your current benefits and provide an estimate of your expected out-of-pocket cost before shipment. Benefit information is not a guarantee of payment; final coverage and patient responsibility are determined when your plan processes the claim.

Self-pay costs depend on the dressing type, wound size, and how often the dressing is changed, and advanced dressings cost more per unit than gauze. We bill your plan for the covered quantity your documentation supports and quote a self-pay price when an item is not covered.

Yes. We provide guided self-measurement and coordinate professional fitting for patients across the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Putnam County, Poughkeepsie, and all of New York.
