Does insurance pay for this if I have a medical condition such as MS?
We suggest that you check with your insurance company. It may be a reimbursable expense through a HSA or from the insurance company with a letter from the doctor demonstrating a need. You also may need a "Procedure Code". Medicare and health and human services reimbursement code for cooling devices is CPT 97017. As we know more on this we will update you.

The scarf is another style that hides the spheres inside an outer layer of beautiful fabric shaped like a scarf. The technology inside the scarf is the same as the necklace. The inside string of spheres can be removed and laundered separately from the outer scarf.

If I travel, how can I keep it cool?
You can keep it frozen in a cooler with an ice pack. Depending on the conditions, this will help to keep the necklace from losing its cooling capacity until you really need it.
