Hospitalization
Why is KickIt perfect for hospitalized patients?
A typically hospital gown leaves patients feeling exposed and vulnerable. Studies show that wearing your own clothes in the hospital increases your self-esteem and emotional well-being. This is important as good emotional immunity can make you more resilient to anxiety and stress which greatly impacts your physical immune system.
Anyone that has taken a shower, gotten dressed, and put on makeup while having a horrible headache knows that when you look good, you actually feel better. You become prepared, confident and ready to take on the day. Our pajamas, gown, infusion jacket and socks are just that: the armor one needs to feel prepared and kick Cancer’s A$$.
How do I know whether to choose a gown or pajama style?
Gowns may be more appropriate for patients with surgical scars or wounds from the waist down, urinary catheters, and patients who are immobile or incontinent.
Pajamas should be appropriate in most other situations. If you find that the item is not right, please return the item, unworn, in the original packaging with their tags for an exchange or refund within 10 days of purchase.
When is the KickIt Infusion Jacket appropriate?
This stylish, cozy, and functional item is perfect for anyone! Our KickIt infusion Jacket is designed for warmth and modesty whether your loved one is being treated in the hospital, at an outpatient center, or convalescing at home. This can be worn over pajamas for those laps around the nurse’s station, in the chilly infusion centers where patients receive their treatment, or even for a quick trip running errands. The soft fabric feels luxurious against the skin, the pockets are a perfect place to store a phone, and the arm construction makes it simple to take on or off even when hooked up to an IV line.
Do hospitals allow patients to wear their own clothes while hospitalized?
Yes! There may be certain procedures or diagnostic tests that will temporarily require hospital issued attire, but for the majority of cases, wearing your own clothes is permissible and encouraged!
Why not give more conventional gifts like flowers, food, or bath products?
These common gifts, although appreciated, can sometimes miss the mark. Many hospitals do not allow flowers and plants in rooms of cancer patients as they naturally carry pollen and fungal spores which can cause infections in people with weakened immune systems. Scented products like candles, lotions, and powders may increase nausea in chemotherapy patients. Chemo and radiation can also cause tongue and mouth sores, making certain foods unpleasant and even painful.

HSA / FSA
Can I use my HSA or FSA to purchase your recovery garments?
Possibly. Many HSA/FSA administrators may reimburse recovery garments with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed medical provider.
Our recovery-focused products include:
- Hospital Gowns with Snaps
- Robe
- Hospital Pajamas
- Recovery Pajamas (short and long sleeve)
- Recovery Tank Top
- Color Block Shirt with Drain Pockets
- Kristin Recovery Sash Dress
These items are designed with front-open or accessible designs and internal pockets to hold post-surgical drains, which may be considered medically necessary during post-operative recovery depending on your procedure and provider recommendation.
Eligibility is ultimately determined by your benefits administrator, not by us.
Why might recovery garments qualify as a medical expense?
HSA/FSA funds can generally be used for expenses whose primary purpose is medical care, including treating or supporting recovery from surgery.
In some cases, recovery garments may be considered medically necessary because they:
- Allow safe access to surgical sites without excessive movement
- Reduce strain or risk of disrupting incisions
- Secure post-surgical drains internally, improving mobility and hygiene
- Support compliance with post-operative care instructions
Because these garments also have everyday uses, they are not automatically eligible—but they may qualify with documentation.
What is a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN)?
A Letter of Medical Necessity is a written statement from a licensed healthcare provider explaining:
- The medical condition or procedure
- Why a specific product is necessary for treatment or recovery
- The length of time the product is needed
Many benefits administrators require an LMN to approve reimbursement for items that are not automatically considered medical expenses.
How do I know if my HSA/FSA administrator requires a specific form?
Each plan is different. We recommend contacting your benefits administrator directly and asking:
“Do you require a specific Letter of Medical Necessity form for reimbursement, or will a provider’s letter on official letterhead be accepted?”
Some administrators provide their own LMN template, while others accept a doctor’s letter.
A generic letter of medical necessity can be found here.
How do I submit an LMN for reimbursement?
While exact steps vary by plan, the general process is:
- Contact your benefits administrator to confirm requirements
- Ask your medical provider to complete either: Your administrator’s official LMN form, or a general LMN letter
- Purchase the recovery garment
- Submit the LMN and itemized receipt for reimbursement
Does this guarantee reimbursement?
No. Approval depends on:
- Your specific HSA/FSA plan
- Your medical provider’s determination
- Your administrator’s eligibility rules
We cannot guarantee reimbursement, but we’re happy to provide documentation and product descriptions to support your request.
Can you fill out or submit the LMN for me?
No. A Letter of Medical Necessity must be completed and signed by a licensed medical provider. However, we provide a general LMN template to make the process easier for you and your doctor.
