The cost will depend on what garment & pump you'll be using. I had a garment made specifically for me - each garment & pump have different prices. If you have insurance it may be covered- I have insurance and while the garment would be covered my insurance would only cover the smaller pump which did not work with my garment (they were we're waiting & seeing if this works -- sigh -- so I was given the cost I would pay if out of pocket. My cost for both was $3500 which can be paid over time if preferred- I opted for payment in full. The cost may seem like a lot but considering I needed to go in 2 times a week to have the treatment done by OT which was around $300 per week ( yes insurance did cover it but I hated having to go in 2x's a week and my therapy time would be less than I needed ) so this was the perfect solution for me. I've known of 2 others who purchased theirs & they agreed that being able to be at home was so much nicer. I hope this answered your question. If you have any others let me know. Take care.
