Compression stockings and reimbursement options

Did you know that you can have several stockings reimbursed each year?

Under the RAMQ, 

only compression garments for the diagnosis of lymphedema are eligible for partial reimbursement. The patient must pay a deductible (except for social assistance) and can purchase a predefined quantity of compression stockings.

For private insurance,

it all depends on insurance coverage. Some insurers reimburse several pairs of compression stockings per year. Please contact your insurer directly to confirm your coverage.
