Your Supporo Compression Socks May Be Reimbursed: Here's How to Benefit

Compression socks are a recognized therapeutic tool to support vein health and improve blood circulation. Whether you wear them at work, while travelling, during pregnancy, or to relieve medical symptoms like varicose veins or swelling, you’ll be pleased to know they may be reimbursed by your private insurance—and in some cases, even by your provincial health insurance plan.

Here’s what you need to know.

🩺 Why Do You Need a Prescription?

Most private insurers require a medical prescription for reimbursement. This prescription usually includes:

• The required compression level (e.g., 20-30 mmHg or 30-40 mmHg)
• The recommended style (knee-highs, thigh-highs, pantyhose, etc.)
• The suggested frequency of use based on your condition

This documentation is essential to prove that the socks are being used for therapeutic purposes—not just for comfort or light prevention.

📋 Which Insurers Cover Compression Socks?

This depends on your specific insurance plan, but many insurers reimburse up to two pairs of compression socks per year. Coverage is often available for those suffering from:

• Varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Chronic swelling (edema)
• Circulatory issues or post-operative recovery

Some provincial health insurance plans may also provide full or partial coverage in specific medical cases. It’s best to check directly with your insurance provider or pharmacist.
