During a March 25th webinar hosted by the National Lymphedema Network, I presented an update on the Lymphedema Treatment Act and shared tips on how to appeal your insurance denials while we work to pass the bill.
This and all the daily webinars hosted by the National Lymphedema Network (NLN) during March’s Lymphedema Awareness Month are now available online and can be viewed for free at any time. The list of topics is below.
Thank you to everyone who sent letters to the editor, used our Lymphedema Awareness Facebook frame, and took other actions during March! We are pleased to share with you two awesome new “Lymphedema Treatment Act” Facebook frames perfect for using now, one with and one without our signature butterfly.
