LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belly Bandit®, the leading manufacturer of solution-based products for before, during and after pregnancy, today announced its health insurance reimbursement program to get pregnant women and new moms the medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME) they need. Under this new program, Belly Bandit’s world famous compression wraps, the Upsie Belly®, the 2-in-1 Bandit™ and the C-section & Recovery Undies are now eligible for insurance coverage and FSA reimbursement.
“When I started this company almost 10 years ago, my goal was to provide women with products that would make them feel their best before, during, and after pregnancy. Since then, we’ve undertaken the role of nurturing moms as they nurture their growing families,” said Lori Caden, co-founder Belly Bandit. “We are so excited to announce our health insurance reimbursement program, and we will continue looking for new ways to support moms.”
Eligible products include:
- Belly Wraps: After having a baby, a woman may experience weight gain and skin stretching, mid-section discomfort, weakening of the muscles, abdominal separation (also known as diastasis recti), and a delicacy of the skin that requires special support, attention and comfort. Belly Bandit’s wraps were created to help shrink mom’s belly, waist and hips post-pregnancy, as well as support back, leg and core muscles.
- Upsie Belly: Upsie Belly provides belly and back support during pregnancy. This super-comfy band, made from Belly Bandit’s proprietary, earth-friendly SecureStretch™ material, molds to the body to provide the perfect amount of support.
- 2-in-1 Bandit: The 2-in-1 Bandit is designed to work with a woman’s body during and after pregnancy. While the baby bump grows, the band comfortably lifts and supports mom in all the right places. Then, once baby has arrived, it serves as a hip wrap to help restore mom to her pre-baby shape.
- C-section & Recovery Undies: After a C-section delivery these supportive undies provide targeted compression to help reduce swelling and discomfort. The recovery undies also protect the incision area and are designed with silver-infused fibers that can help eliminate bacteria, wetness and odor.
"I often prescribe abdominal support products for my patients who are suffering from pregnancy-induced pelvic pressure and back pain, as well as postpartum products to aid in symphysis pubis,” said Dr. David Ghozland, a board-certified OB/GYN in Los Angeles. “It’s great to know that patients can now be reimbursed for Belly Bandit’s high-quality products that address these and other medical issues.”
