Have a prescription?
Get paid back for wearing them.
Medical compression is covered by many extended health plans when a physician prescribes it. Get a prescription, buy from us, submit your receipt, and your insurer pays you back. Depending on your plan, your socks could cost you nothing.

Get reimbursed
Your insurer deposits the eligible amount back to you, often within days.
What your insurer will ask for
- A prescription from a physician (some plans accept a nurse practitioner) naming medical compression stockings and the compression level in mmHg.
- Your itemized SUGAR SILK receipt showing product, compression level and amount paid.
- Your plan's claim form or a claim submitted through your insurer's app.
- Pre-authorization, if your plan requires it.
Before you buy
- Call your insurer or check your benefits booklet for the minimum compression level they cover and your annual limit.
- Ask your doctor which compression level is right for you. Only a clinician can decide whether compression is appropriate.
- Keep your prescription. Many plans accept one prescription for 12 months of purchases.
- FSA/HSA (US) and Health Spending Accounts (Canada) can also be used where eligible.
