kmorri 1,689 Posted April 21, 2016 My suggestion is to contact your insurance company and ask what the medical criteria for coverage is.....you can sometimes even find the information on their website. But rather than not knowing you should call them. You don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops and spend a lot of money only to find out in the end you don't qualify...Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
