We are in the process of updating our educational materials. All items currently available can be viewed on our Tools for Increasing Awareness page. The files can be downloaded for free and printed at home or at your local printer. Below you can see images of our very popular information cards. We are working on making printed copies of these cards available for order. We will let you know when that option is available.
Once again, a huge thank you to every advocate and organization who submitted feedback on the proposed coverage rules for lymphedema compression supplies during the official Public Comment Period that concluded on August 29th. Once all comments are posted for public view we will let you know and provide a link, but in the interim you can click here to read the Lymphedema Advocacy Group’s comments.
There will be more ways you can help this year. We will soon be embarking on outreach to state Medicaid Directors and private insurance companies, to urge them to quickly follow Medicare’s lead and make sure that their 2024 coverage includes lymphedema compression supplies. We will be asking you to contact your own insurance provider, so please stay tuned for future calls to action.
Thank you for your advocacy!
