Prescription required for elastic stockings
For elastic stockings you need a prescription from the doctor in attendance. After three months, you can get another pair of stockings. You may qualify for reimbursement for replacement elastic stockings.
For dressing aids, you need a prescription from a physician or occupational therapist.
On loan or owner?
