Question from POPS member Susan Laham

Dallas, TX
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Practitioners Society POPS

Hello all,
We previously had a DME company locally that would rent out EZ vests for our bigger kids in spica casts. They are no longer renting them and are a purchase item only. We only have 2 insurance plans in Michigan that will pay for them. This is becoming a hardship for some of our families that don't have $160 to pay for this item. Our hospital won't allow us to take in used items due to liability. Do any of you have a similar problem or any suggestions? Our Foundation has purchased 6 for our department, but they won't last long.

Thanks so much!
