Supplier Information

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) now has a page for Lymphedema Compression Treatment Supplies, which contains guidance that complements the information below.

PATIENTS & CARE PROVIDERS: 

Eventually, you will be able to search for suppliers who sell compression by using the Medicare Equipment and Suppliers online search tool. Typically, Medicare participating providers also take other types of insurance, so even if you are not a Medicare beneficiary, this will be a helpful tool. If you do not have a supplier physically located in your area, do not worry, there are online options. Because we do not know how long it will take for the Medicare search tool to be updated, we have assembled this list of compression suppliers who accept Medicare. If your current compression supplier does not accept Medicare you can share the information below with them and encourage them to enroll. 

CURRENT & FUTURE SUPPLIERS: 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) hosts a live chat every Monday from 3:00-4:00pm Eastern, to answer questions from providers and suppliers.

CMS has also issued a Medical Learning Network article outlining the implementation of this new coverage and an article on Lymphedema Compression Treatment Items – Correct Coding and Billing, as well as this Fact Sheet.

For reimbursement rates, please see the complete 2024 DMEPOS Fee Schedule. The list of only lymphedema compression garments and supplies can be seen here.

  • If you are a Medicare supplier or in the process of enrolling, please let us know by completing this form, so that we can include you in the above mentioned list of resources that we are assembling for patients. 
  • Suppliers should make sure they are following all state licensure laws with regard to this product as well as meeting all Supplier Standards found at 42 CFR 424.57. Compliance with these laws and requirements will determine your qualification to provide this product.
  • If you or your place of business ARE already enrolled as a Medicare supplier, other than letting us know so that we can include you on our resources list for patients, there is nothing further you need to do at this time. Lymphedema compression supplies will be included on the updated 855S, which CMS expects to release around February 2024.
  • If you or your place of business ARE NOT already enrolled as a Medicare supplier, and you would like to be able to begin selling compression garments and supplies and billing Medicare, please follow these instructions at CMS’s Supplier Enrollment page.
  • If current or prospective suppliers have any questions, the following contact information was included in the proposed rule: “Medicare provider and supplier enrollment inquiries may contact CMS – Frank Whelan 410-786–1302.”
  • For general assistance or questions regarding claims suppliers should contact DMEPOS@cms.hhs.gov.
