We were thrilled to recently participate in the Canadian Lymphedema Framework international conference, at which we premiered this poster chronicling our work.
 |
The abstract for the poster can be read here. Advocacy groups in other countries who are also pursuing or hoping to pursue improvements to insurance coverage can benefit from seeing what strategies have been successful here in the United States.
Please join us in making another push for cosponsors, so that we can finish the year as strong as possible. Check the list below to see which of your members of Congress are already cosponsoring the bill. If any of them are not, please call their office this week.
There has been a very high level of turnover amongst the health staff this year, so even if a member of Congress cosponsored the bill in the past, if he or she has a new health aide it can take considerably more time and outreach to get them back on the bill.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so please make your calls this week! And remember, if you aren’t able to or don’t feel comfortable calling during business hours and talking to a live person, you can call after hours and leave a voicemail, which is also valuable.

* Due to their positions in leadership or as Chairs of the Committees that have jurisdiction over the LTA, these members are unlikely to cosponsor, however, because they are in these powerful positions it’s even more important that they hear from constituents! Please call and ask that they use their position to ensure that the LTA is voted on and becomes law during this Congress.
TIPS ON PERSONALIZING YOUR MESSAGE:
The most effective things you can convey are why your doctor prescribed compression garments are essential to your health and quality of life. The focus should be on their medical necessity, and how they enable you to manage your lymphedema, prevent complications like infections, keep you able to work, take care of your family, etc. – whatever is most applicable for you.
The most important thing to avoid saying is that they are expensive. Cost, or a person’s ability to afford to pay out of pocket, is not a reason why something should be covered by insurance, only medical necessity is. Keep the focus on compression garments being essential for the treatment and management of lymphedema, just as insulin is to a diabetic.
