Next Tuesday, August 29th, is the final day to submit feedback on the proposed coverage rules for lymphedema compression supplies!
CLICK HERE to submit your comments if you have not yet done so.
These slides from the webinar below serve as an excellent checklist for the topics you may wish to comment on.
This is the only public comment period, so it is your one opportunity to have a voice in this rulemaking process and shape the outcome!
Even if you are not a Medicare beneficiary yet, Medicare coverage sets the standard that most other private and public policies follow, so these rules will affect all patients.

- Read CMS’s full proposed coverage plan for lymphedema compression garments and supplies.
