Medicare Part B covers lumbar-sacral orthoses (HCPCS L0450–L0650) when medically necessary and prescribed by a physician. We verify your coverage and handle all paperwork.

The right brace depends on your diagnosis, the level of support your physician recommends, and your daily activity. Our certified fitters will review your prescription and help you choose.

Most back braces are designed for part-time use during activity. Wearing a brace continuously can weaken core muscles over time. Your physician will advise on a wear schedule.

Yes. For complex spinal conditions, we offer custom-fabricated orthoses. These require a physician referral and a casting appointment at our Boise office.

Medicare Part B covers shoulder orthoses (HCPCS L3650–L3678) when prescribed for a qualifying diagnosis. Coverage includes both off-the-shelf and custom-fitted devices.

An abduction pillow holds your arm away from your body at a specific angle after rotator cuff surgery. Your surgeon will specify the required abduction angle (typically 15°–45°).

We coordinate directly with your surgical team and can often fit you before you leave the hospital or within 24 hours of discharge. Contact us as soon as your surgery is scheduled.

Most post-op immobilizers should be kept dry. We provide waterproof sling covers and will advise you on safe removal procedures during your fitting appointment.

Medicare Part B covers wrist orthoses (HCPCS L3908–L3923) when prescribed for a qualifying diagnosis such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fracture, or post-surgical recovery.

For carpal tunnel syndrome, nighttime wear is often recommended to keep the wrist in a neutral position. Your physician or our fitters will advise on the appropriate wear schedule.

A thumb spica brace immobilizes the thumb and wrist together. It is commonly used for De Quervain's tenosynovitis, thumb sprains, and basal joint arthritis.

Yes. Bilateral wrist braces are available and may be covered by Medicare when both wrists have a qualifying diagnosis. We will verify coverage for each side separately.

Medicare Part B covers ankle-foot orthoses (HCPCS L1900–L2116) when prescribed for qualifying diagnoses including drop foot, post-surgical recovery, and severe instability.

A standard ankle brace provides medial-lateral support for sprains and instability. An AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) extends up the lower leg and is used for drop foot, neurological conditions, and complex biomechanical issues.

Most lace-up and stirrup ankle braces are designed to fit inside a lace-up athletic shoe. You may need to go up half a shoe size to accommodate the brace comfortably.

Wear time depends on sprain severity. Grade I sprains may require 1–2 weeks of support; Grade II–III sprains may need 4–8 weeks. Your physician will advise on a return-to-activity timeline.

Medicare covers compression garments for lymphedema (HCPCS A6531–A6549) when prescribed by a physician. Standard varicose vein compression is generally not covered, but we will verify your specific coverage.

Compression stockings can be difficult to don, especially at higher pressures. We provide donning aids and demonstrate proper technique at your fitting. Rubber gloves and a silk liner can also help.

Medical-grade compression stockings typically last 3–6 months with daily wear. Medicare covers replacement garments every 6 months for qualifying diagnoses.

Compression sleeves cover the calf only and are open at the foot — useful for athletes and mild edema. Stockings cover the foot and ankle as well, providing graduated compression from the foot upward.
