Medical Insurance Information
Soothems are eligible, but cannot guarantee health insurance payment coverage, or that your HSA/FSA debit card will be accepted by our credit card processor as part of your Soothems purchase. You must refer to your subscriber's/member's contract benefits to determine if Soothems eczema clothing, that is registered with the FDA as a Class 1, Medical Device, are covered under your subscriber’s/member's benefit plan.

Please note that just because a service, procedure, device, or equipment that has been issued a CPT or HCPCS code and is approved by the FDA does not mean that the service procedure, device, or equipment is covered by your insurance. Each policy is different.

If this is a contingency requirement for your purchasing Soothems eczema clothing, please check with your individual health insurance provider prior to making a purchase.

Your insurance provider may require prior authorization or supporting documentation in order to process and cover a claim for the requested Soothems therapy. A patient-specific letter of necessity will help to explain the patient’s needs and the physician’s rationale and clinical decision in recommending Soothems. It may be helpful for the recommending physician to briefly describe dry or wet wrapping as a highly effective therapy used in the treatment of atopic eczema, and that it can involve the use of a cream, lotion, or emollient under Soothems which is acting as retention bandaging and that Soothems are made from special fibers that keep the skin hydrated and moist, control bacteria growth and help reduce skin inflammation thereby relieving itching.

The link below has a sample letter of medical necessity that can be customized by the medical care provider based on patient medical history and demographic information. Please note that some payers may have specific forms that must be completed to process payments or to document medical history.
