Surgical compression garments can come under your 'extras cover'. However, not all health funds cover surgical compression garments, so make sure to check before purchasing
2. Ensure the Garments Meet Fund Requirements
The compression garments must be medical-grade and prescribed for post-surgery.

You’ll need to submit the necessary paperwork from your surgeon along with a surgical garment receipt from Hidden Lace
4. Be Aware of Limits and Restrictions
Most health funds have annual sub-limits for compression garments, so make sure you check your remaining limit before submitting a claim.
