Question 1

Can someone tell me exactly what this does and the relief you have experienced if any.  Does it stretch your neck up? Provide any relief elsewhere

Accepted Answer

Yes, it stretches the neck. I was in a car accident and this helped relief the pain in my neck and the tingling in my left hand. it also relieved my lower thoracic spine pain.
This has helped my neck pain. I used it 3-4x a week I am now down to 1-2 x a week. It has really helped me.  i have not had to go to the chiropractor for 3 weeks now. It is so easy to use and I value 
this equipment.I would recommend it.

Question 2

Is it the blue pictured above or the frequent seen black/gray unit?

Accepted Answer

The one I ordered came in gray and black.

Question 3

does medicare cover this device

Accepted Answer

You can possibly get reimbursed.... but you have to get a physician to order it. You have to have your benefits for DME (durable medical equipment) verified to see what your split is.. if it’s even covered at all. And if it is you have to show the following:

1. medical necessity 
2. That you have tried lesser intensive remedies (not sure what they are for this device but I’m sure long term use of a collar having failed is one of them)
3. Clinical notes from your physician specifically discussing need and failed remedies
4. A Letter if Medical Necessity
5. A CMN (a certificate of medical necessity)

Possibly more depending on the insurance... but this is the least you’ll need for Medicare

First find out if it is Medicare Approved and get the HCSPCS code... they will have it at the company of it is...

Good luck. I do this 40 hrs a day so it’s nothing better t trying to get Durable Medical Equipment self approves is a massive pain in the ass. Your physician office should be able to help!

Question 4

I have a perscription from my doctor for a home traction machine but how do I submit the cost to Medicare?

Accepted Answer

Hi, I also have the same question . We’re you able to get one through Medicare ? They gave me a list of supplier but none of them has the good devices it’s the cheap ones that you put on the door . If you got one please let me know how and where thanks .
