That may depend on the company, the policy, and/or the unit. Check your policy under "durable medical equipment". They may cover a traction unit - just not the one you want.

I have an over the door unit I've modified slightly (so I can watch television instead of staring at the door). It's been so many years I don't recall if it was covered, but that type is pretty inexpensive ~$30 IIRC.
