A recording of our webinar held on Thursday night, 7/13, is now available. The link to it and a variety of other resources to help you prepare your comments on the proposed coverage plan for lymphedema compression supplies are below.
We anticipate that our form for submitting your comments to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will be available by the end of next week, so now is a good time to begin drafting your feedback. The public comment period will be open until August 29th, and your comments will need to be submitted through our form by August 28th.
This is your opportunity to say what you do and don’t like about the proposed rules! Our organization will also be submitting feedback, but, just as with getting the bill passed, your individual voices are important.
Only one comment per-person is allowed, and CMS will disregard duplicate comments, so we urge you to utilize the resources below and take time to thoughtfully prepare your remarks. If you have questions after reviewing all of the materials below, please respond to this email and we would be happy to assist you.
