Cooling Vests

[Micki]

My doctor suggested I get a cooling vest to get through this summer heat.     The ones that look comfortable and easy to wear are pricey.    Does anyone know if Medicare covers?

 

Thank you

Hi Micki –

Medicare may cover it as a piece of “durable medical equipment” but you’d need to get a doctor’s prescription. But, if you meet the income requirements the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America provides them at no cost. https://mymsaa.org/msaa-help/cooling-products/

Thanks, Ed – I saw that MS Society did that.   And , I am going to check with Medicare.   Actually, not out of my price range but, if I’m going to invest I want it to be comfortable to wear.   Don’t want to invest that kind of $$ and then have sit in a closet somewhere.

 

I hope you are doing all you can to be safe.   Micki

Good luck, Micki. Always good to hear from you.

Stay cool!
