How to Pay for Your Steadi-3 Tremor Glove
Steadi-3 is available through several flexible payment options, so you can choose what works best for your financial situation. Options include paying in full, monthly financing with Affirm, FSA or HSA reimbursement, or insurance reimbursement after purchase. Steadi-3 does not require a prescription, clinic visit, or assessment appointment, and can be ordered directly from Steadiwear. Every purchase includes a 30-day trial period, giving you time to try the device at home and reduce financial risk while planning reimbursement or long-term payment.
Monthly Payment Plans with Affirm
Steadiwear partners with Affirm, one of the leading medical equipment financing companies, to offer transparent monthly payment plans for this Affirm medical device purchase. Customers can select a three-, six-, or twelve-month term, with interest rates based on eligibility. Affirm has no hidden fees, no prepayment penalties, and often uses a soft credit check to preview options. This buy now, pay later approach to medical equipment allows immediate access to Steadi-3 while spreading costs into predictable monthly payments.
Using FSA, HSA, and Insurance Reimbursement
Steadi-3 is commonly treated as an FSA/HSA medical device when used for a diagnosed condition, such as Essential Tremor or Parkinson’s Disease. Some administrators require a Letter of Medical Necessity before approving reimbursement. FSA funds often expire annually, while HSA funds roll over year to year. Direct insurance billing is not available, but many customers pursue reimbursement after purchase by submitting receipts, diagnosis documentation, and supporting materials. Approval outcomes vary by plan, documentation quality, and benefit structure.
Cost Comparison and Long-Term Value
When comparing the costs of essential tremor treatment, it’s important to look beyond the upfront price. Steadi-3 is a one-time purchase of about $1,118.00 CAD, available for as low as $73/month with Affirm. It requires no subscription, prescription, batteries, or therapy sessions. Other devices may involve subscriptions, clinical visits, or complex insurance workflows. For many users, Steadi-3’s predictable ownership cost results in lower long-term expenses.
Why We Offer Flexible Payment Options

Steadiwear offers multiple payment options, financing, assistive technology funding pathways, and a 30-day trial because cost should not block access to support. Our goal is to improve independence and daily function without adding financial stress during an already challenging diagnosis journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Checking your payment options with Affirm usually begins with a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. This lets you preview available payment plans, interest rates, and monthly payment amounts before committing. If you decide to move forward with an Affirm payment plan, a hard credit check may be required, depending on the plan selected and Affirm’s internal approval criteria. Some Affirm loans are reported to credit bureaus, meaning that making payments on time may help build a positive credit history, while missed or late payments could negatively impact your credit. Affirm is transparent about whether a loan will be reported and clearly displays all terms before you agree, so you can make an informed decision without unexpected credit consequences.
Yes. Affirm allows you to pay off your balance early at any time, with no prepayment penalties or additional fees. If your payment plan includes interest, paying early may reduce the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. This flexibility is especially helpful for customers who later receive insurance reimbursement, HSA funds, a tax refund, or other financial support and want to close out their balance sooner. Early repayment does not negatively affect your Affirm account or credit profile. Affirm’s online dashboard makes it easy to view your remaining balance, manage scheduled payments, and pay off the full amount early with just a few clicks, giving you full control over your repayment timeline.
Steadi-3 is not billed directly to insurance at this time, meaning it cannot be purchased upfront through an insurance provider. However, some customers pursue insurance reimbursement after purchase, depending on the rules of their individual plan. This typically involves buying Steadi-3 out of pocket and then submitting a claim as an out-of-network or medical expense. Supporting documentation often includes an itemized receipt, diagnosis records, and a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a healthcare provider. Coverage outcomes vary widely by insurer and policy, and reimbursement may be partial or full. While insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed, this pathway allows some users to offset costs even without direct coverage, particularly when medical necessity is well documented.
No. Steadi-3 is not currently covered by Medicare under Part A or Part B. Medicare has specific benefit categories and approval processes for durable medical equipment, and Steadi-3 has not yet been approved under those pathways. As a result, Medicare beneficiaries typically purchase Steadi-3 through self-pay, financing options like Affirm, or, in some cases, HSA funds if available. Many Medicare users choose Steadi-3 because it does not require a prescription, clinic visits, therapy sessions, or ongoing subscriptions, allowing immediate access to tremor support. Even though Medicare coverage is not available, the ease of access and flexibility make Steadi-3 an appealing option for individuals who do not want to wait for coverage determinations or meet strict eligibility criteria.
