These include, for example, treatment socks, breast prostheses, individual support aids, support insoles, customized footwear, wigs, and glasses that are acquired with a payment commitment. Below you will find information about payment commitments. ### How can I get a payment commitment for assistive equipment? --- You can contact Keusote’s payment commitments unit by phone or email. For the majority of assistive equipment, you need a recommendation from a healthcare professional on the need for an assistive device. ### How can I acquire compression socks? --- If you have been using compression socks and you have a physician’s recommendation for them, you can contact Keusote’s payment commitments unit directly. If you have not previously had compression socks in use, you will need a physician’s recommendation for them. ### How can I get a compression sleeve or a breast prosthesis? --- If you have had breast cancer, you do not need a new recommendation for these aids. You can contact Keusote’s payment commitments unit directly for renewing your assistive equipment. ### How can I get support insoles or customized footwear? --- For support insoles and footwear, you need a recommendation from a healthcare professional. If you already have such a recommendation, you can contact Keusote’s payment commitments unit directly. ### My child is under the age of 8 and has previously received glasses. Can we obtain glasses in the future? --- A child under the age of 8 may be granted glasses on the basis of a recommendation from an ophthalmologist. As a rule, ophthalmologists mail the recommendations directly to Keusote’s payment commitments unit. ### Can I do business with the same service provider as before? --- We use HUS framework agreements, so contract suppliers are used for tendered products. Information about the contract supplier is provided with the payment commitment. ### Can I change a service provider used with a payment commitment? --- If the assistive equipment has been put out to tender, you cannot switch service providers. ## [ Maisa Portal (opens in new window, links to another website) ](https://www.maisa.fi/maisa/Authentication/Login?lang=britishenglish) MAISA.FI You can use our online services by signing in to the Maisa Portal.
