Your doctor needs to write you a script, then they send the paperwork to the vest company for insurance purposes....
There are three vest companies. Can't remember the names off the top of my head. Hill Rom, Smart Vest...
We've had a Vest for DS for the past month. I still do manual CPT for the early morning treatment 'cuz he's usually sleeping. But it is more convenient. Don't have to work around anyone else's schedule. If DS or I are out of town or at a meeting, we don't have to make arrangments for someone to come in and help out. DS doesn't like it when it first starts up -- says it goes too fast, but then he gets caught up in his tv show and forgets.
