Happy New Year and Happy New Coverage! Some Medicare beneficiaries have already received their compression garments under the new coverage, like this advocate, who wrote to me on Monday to say:
“Just thought I would let you know that I picked up my first sets of sleeves and gauntlets today.
It was like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one!”
