JOHANIS

I WORK FOR A HOSPITAL, I'M TRYING TO FING OUT IF IT IS ANY MEDICAL CODE TO BILL FOR A BRA AS A SURGICAL VEST OR POST SURGICAL BRA. WE HAVE THEM AT THE HOSPITAL(BRAS) AND WHEN PATIENTS HAD A MASTECTOMY WE WANT TO GIVE THEM TO THE PATIENTS BUT WHAT CODE WILL I USE TO BILL MEDICARE FOR IT? IF WE ARE A HOSPITAL AND NOT A DME COMPANY?

look in your hcpcs book. it will be there.

Bustier or adhesive bra?

MC

My wedding dress is clingy, especially around the torso. And it has a low back.

I also need some oomph in the bustline to fill it out. Sewn in bra cups don't work very well and are slightly visible.

So I need a bustier that is smooth/seamless, low-backed, and push-up. Does something like that actually exist?

Also are the sticky bras a better option?

Here is my dress:

Answer
I've seen halter style low back bras that would fill the bill - you would have to have the straps attached to the straps of the dress so that they don't show.
