The key difference between a knee sleeve and a knee brace is that a brace is meant to protect the anterior knee and patella, while the sleeve does not provide the same ligament support. This makes sleeves a poor choice for those that have unstable knees.
Neoprene knee braces are one of the most popular types of knee brace on the market. Like all braces they provide good support to the knee joint reducing pain and instability. The added advantage of the neoprene material is that it retains heat, which helps promote healing and reduces swelling and pain.
Are knee compression sleeves good for arthritis? Knee compression sleeves, also known as soft braces, can be good for arthritis, especially if you run or do sports. They're not so good at stabilizing your knee or keeping the joint in place if you're recovering from an injury.

DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS Section 1833 (e) of the Social Security Act precludes payment to any provider of services unless "there has been furnished such information as may be necessary in order to determine the amounts due such provider." It is expected that the beneficiary's medical records will reflect the need for the care provided.
Correct coding of prefabricated knee orthoses (L1810, L1812, L1820, L1830, L1831, L1832, L1833, L1836, L1843, L1845, L1847, L1848, L1850, L1851, L1852) is dependent upon whether or not there is a need for “minimal self-adjustment” at the time of fitting by the beneficiary, caretaker for the beneficiary, or supplier that does not require the services of a qualified practitioner (see definitions below).
Both “off-the-shelf” (OTS) and custom-fit items are considered prefabricated braces for Medica re coding purposes . 42 CFR §414.402 establishes that correct coding of knee orthoses items is dependent upon whether there is a need for “minimal self-adjustment” during the final fitting at the time of delivery. (See definitions below.) The following denials apply to incorrectly coded items based upon this regulation:
Knee Orthoses are covered under the Medicare Braces Benefit (Social Security Act §1861 (s) (9)). For coverage under this benefit, the orthosis must be a rigid or semi-rigid device, which is used for the purpose of supporting a weak or deformed body member or restricting or eliminating motion in a diseased or injured part of the body. Items that are not sufficiently rigid to be capable of providing the necessary immobilization or support to the body part for which it is designed do not meet the statutory definition of the Braces Benefit. Items that do not meet the definition of a brace are statutorily noncovered, no benefit.
