Any question you have,
we're here to help

Everything patients and providers ask us most — fittings, garments, insurance, and referrals. Don't see your question? Reach out and we'll help.

General

Do I need a prescription for my compression or mastectomy products?

If you plan to use insurance, yes. Most insurance plans require a valid prescription and supporting clinical documentation from a recent provider visit that justifies the item being prescribed. Without this documentation, insurance may deny coverage.

If you are paying out of pocket, a prescription is not required. However, because these items are considered retail purchases without a prescription, applicable sales tax will apply.

Even if you are self-paying, we recommend obtaining a prescription whenever possible. It helps ensure we fit you with the most appropriate garment or product based on your provider's diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

For more information about insurance documentation requirements, please see our Compression and Mastectomy Documentation Requirements Guides.

Do I need to schedule an appointment?

Yes. We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can provide you with the best possible experience. Appointments allow us to verify your insurance benefits, obtain any required prescriptions and supporting documentation before your visit, ensure a certified fitter is available, and reserve enough time for a personalized fitting without feeling rushed.

If you stop by without an appointment, we'll do our best to accommodate you. However, because fitters may be with other patients or we may still need to obtain required documentation, we cannot guarantee same-day service.

How long does a fitting appointment take?
Most fittings take about 45 to 60 minutes, giving us time to measure, discuss your needs, and try different options without feeling rushed.

Mastectomy

What should I bring to my mastectomy fitting?
Bring any garments or forms you currently wear, a solid-colored form-fitting top, and your insurance information. If you have a prescription or referral, bring that along too.
How often should I replace my breast form?
Replacement depends on the type of breast form you have. Silicone breast forms typically last 1–2 years, while foam breast forms are generally recommended to be replaced every 6 months. We'll help you determine when it's time for a replacement based on normal wear, changes in fit, and any changes in your body.
What is your exchange policy for mastectomy products?

Silicone breast forms may be exchanged for a different size within 10 days of your fitting, provided the form is undamaged and returned in its original box, with the packaging in like-new condition.

Because bras and foam breast forms are considered personal wear items, they cannot be returned or exchanged.

What brands do you carry?
We carry a variety of post-mastectomy products from Amoena, Trulife, and Anita, including breast forms, bras, and other post-mastectomy essentials. Our fitters can help you find the right option based on your fit, lifestyle, and individual needs.
Why is a professional fitting important?
A proper fit is essential for comfort, confidence, and the best possible results after breast surgery. Our experienced fitters hand-measure and evaluate your individual needs. The result is a personalized solution designed for the best possible fit, comfort, and function.

Compression Garments

Will my insurance cover a compression garment?

Coverage depends on your insurance plan, diagnosis, and the type of garment prescribed. Before we place an order, we'll verify your benefits, explain any out-of-pocket costs, and let you know if prior authorization or additional documentation is needed.

We're contracted with most major insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your coverage before moving forward.

What is your exchange and remake policy for compression garments?
Items billed to insurance can't be returned. If an off-the-shelf garment doesn't fit, we may be able to exchange it for a different size within 30 days of receipt, though some manufacturers charge a restocking fee. If a custom garment doesn't fit as intended, we'll work with the manufacturer to remake it for no additional charge — we just need you to bring it in within 2 weeks of receipt so we can address any fit issues promptly.
What is the difference between ready-to-wear and custom garments?
Ready-to-wear garments are manufactured in standard sizes, while custom garments are made specifically to your measurements. If a standard size cannot provide the proper fit or support, a custom garment may be recommended. Our fitters will help determine the best option based on your measurements and clinical needs.
I don't live in your area. Can I still order compression garments from P&H?

Yes. We are happy to work with patients outside our local service area.

To process your order, we'll need your demographics, a valid prescription, supporting clinical documentation from your provider, and current measurements taken by your physician or therapist. Once we receive everything, we'll verify your benefits, obtain any required authorizations, and coordinate your order.

You or your provider can send the required information by:
Fax: (512) 986-6330
Email: reception@phservnet.com

Why is a professional fitting important?
Compression therapy is most effective when the garment fits correctly. Our experienced fitters hand-measure and evaluate your individual needs. The result is a personalized solution designed for the best possible fit, comfort, and function.
What brands do you carry?
We carry a wide variety of daytime and nighttime compression garments from leading manufacturers, including Medi, Juzo, L&R Solaris, JOBST, Haddenham, Therafirm/Thuasne, Sigvaris, Anita, Amoena, Alta Medical, and Wear Ease. Our fitters can help determine the best garment based on your individual needs, fit, and lifestyle.

For Medical Professionals

How do I refer a patient?

To refer a patient, please send us the patient's demographics, a valid prescription, and supporting clinical documentation from a recent office visit that supports the item being prescribed.

Referrals can be sent by:
Fax: (512) 986-6330
Email: reception@phservnet.com

Once we receive the referral, we'll verify benefits, obtain any required authorizations, and coordinate the fitting with your patient.

For product-specific documentation requirements, please see our Compression and Mastectomy Documentation Requirements Guides.

Are appointments required?

Yes. Scheduled appointments allow us to verify insurance benefits, obtain any required prescriptions and supporting documentation before the visit, ensure a certified fitter is available, and dedicate the time needed for a comprehensive evaluation and fitting.

If a patient arrives without an appointment, we'll do our best to accommodate them. However, because insurance verification, documentation, and fitter availability can vary, same-day service cannot be guaranteed.

Can I refer a patient who lives outside your service area?

Absolutely. We regularly work with patients outside our local area.

To get started, please send the patient's demographics, a valid prescription, supporting clinical documentation from a recent office visit, and current compression garment measurements. Once we receive the referral, we'll verify benefits, obtain any required authorizations, and process the order.

Please send referrals to:
Fax: (512) 986-6330
Email: reception@phservnet.com

Which insurance plans do you accept?

We're contracted with Medicare, Texas Medicaid, and many commercial insurance plans. Before placing any order, we verify your patient's specific benefits, review any expected out-of-pocket costs with the patient, and obtain any required prior authorizations so there are no surprises.
