Your doctor’s note must be obtained before you purchase. If you buy first and later find your insurer won’t reimburse, you’ll still be eligible for a standard refund or exchange—assuming the product is unused.
Always verify with your insurance provider whether reimbursement is available under your specific plan—with your note and receipt ready to submit.
If you don’t have insurance coverage for these devices, you can still purchase the items outright. Just know that reimbursement may not be available.

NOTE: Only the After9 leggings and bras are eligible
That’s okay. We’re here to help you review your policy or initiate a quote. You can also call your insurer directly and reference the support feature in your AFTER9 item.
Unfortunately, if the doctor's note was obtained after the purchase date, reimbursement may be denied. Contact our customer service for support.
