We can be reached at (833) 488-1905 or emailed at support@mzcustomfit.com.

Once my referral forms are filled out, what happens next?

Once MZ CustomFit receives the patient referral forms, we will contact the patient and review the financial responsibilities for the requested medical products and go over the stages of our process. Our customer support team will be in constant communication with the patient about their order and future reorders.

Do I need a prescription to order my compression products?

Yes, insurance companies require a prescription. The MZ CustomFit billing team will contact your referring physician directly for proper documentation. If you already have your prescription number and would like to reorder product, please see the Reorder My Garment section on the Patient Page.

Will Medicare cover compression products?

It is possible for Medicare patients to obtain coverage through a secondary insurance plan. The secondary insurer may pay for the products with proof of a Medicare denial. We must file these claims electronically with Medicare in order for your secondary insurer to consider coverage. Pnuematic Compression pumps and appliances are usually covered by Medicare with proper documentation.

How long does it take to get my products?

Typically, daytime elastic support or OTC (over the counter) do not require authorization from your insurance company and can be ordered immediately. Standard (off-the-shelf) products take 3-4 business days to be delivered. Custom-made products can take 10-14 business days for production and delivery.

Why was I required to pay for my compression products out-of-pocket the last time I purchased them from a different company?

Most likely the other provider was considered “out-of-network”, which can result in higher deductibles and co-insurance. The benefit of using “in-network” providers can result in lower out of pocket cost or in many cases no cost at all. MZ CustomFit uses “in-network” providers for AETNA (AMOENA), ANTHEM, BCBS FEDERAL, BCBSTX, CIGNA, HUMANA, MULTIPLAN, TRICARE(s) and VA, as well as many other insurance companies and regional plans.

Do I have to pay for these products upfront if I have insurance coverage?

In order to use your insurance benefits, you will need to complete some forms for our team. Once we receive your forms, our billing specialist will begin the insurance verification process. Once we know the details of your coverage, you will be thoroughly informed of your financial responsibility, if any, before your products are provided and after your claim has been paid.

How often do I need to order new compression products?

Manufacturers suggest reordering every six months. It is also recommended to order several pairs of compression – one to wear and one to wash. Once these products have lost their elasticity, they are no longer useful in maintaining the swelling in the extremity(ies). Custom garments will need to be ordered more frequently. We will verify your insurance benefits and work with you on reordering timeline.
If you already have your prescription number and would like to reorder product, please see the Reorder My Garment section on the Patient Page.

How do I know how to take care of my products?

Each manufacturer provides detailed instructions on how to apply and remove your products, as well has how to wash and maintain them. Your product inserts will also contain care instructions. We are also available to answer any questions you may have.

Why are your compression products more expensive than the hosiery I can buy at the pharmacy?

Medically effective compression products should be measured by a certified fitter. Our products are manufactured with “graduated or gradient pressure”, meaning that pressure is tightest at the ankle and gets less tight as they move up the leg. There are key measurement locations to ensure that the correct pressure is getting applied properly to the extremity. We also provide compression levels that are appropriate for the specific disease indication. All of these components will assist us with possible insurance coverage.

What if my patient receives a product that does not fit correctly, requires higher/lower compression, or requires a change of fabric?

At MZ CustomFit we are here to assist you in providing clinically efficacious products to best meet your patient’s needs. If the product does not fit properly or there is a problem with the fabric used, we will work closely with the manufacturer to remake the garment with revised measurements or replace the product with a different fabric or compression.

If the returned merchandise is determined to be defective, the manufacturers, at their discretion, may replace the merchandise. A Return Merchandise Authorization number (RA number) must be obtained prior to any returned requests. MZ CustomFit will provide a return authorization packet to the patient consisting of an RA letter, shipping label, and a prepaid FedEx label. Our customers have a thirty day period after receiving a product to contact us, otherwise, we have lost our lead-time from the manufacturers to request a return authorization.

Do you mail out reminder cards to patients so they know when it is time to reorder their daytime elastic support? As you know, the elastic support is no longer providing adequate compression after it loses its elasticity.

Yes, we will send out reminders to patients as to when they are eligible to reorder their daytime elastic support products according to their insurance policy guidelines.

Who obtains prescriptions from the referring physician to file your claims?

MZ CustomFit handles all paperwork. After our clinical history form and product information form are received, we have the necessary documentation to facilitate a certificate of medical necessity to the referring physician for signature.
