Insurance coverage for cooling vests

[ActiveMSers]

INSURANCE COVERAGE. Most health insurers shrug their shoulders when patients ask if cooling vests are a covered expense. Don't give up. Cooling is essential for multiple sclerosis patients, and should qualify under Durable Medical Equipment (insurance code E-1399). Still getting denied? The National MS Society has these recommendations for filing an appeal. Good luck!
