Tomorrow – Tuesday, August 29th by 5:00PM – is the deadline for submitting feedback on the proposed coverage rules for lymphedema compression supplies!
CLICK HERE to submit your comments if you have not yet done so.
These slides from the webinar below serve as an excellent checklist
for the topics you may wish to comment on.
This is the only public comment period, so it is your one opportunity to have a voice in this rulemaking process and shape the outcome!
Even if you are not a Medicare beneficiary yet, Medicare coverage sets the standard that most other private and public policies follow, so these rules will affect all patients.
If needed, step-by-step instructions on how to use the submission form are available HERE. Please review the following resources before submitting your comments:
- Read CMS’s full proposed coverage plan for lymphedema compression garments and supplies.
- One-page Summary of the Draft Rules
- Tips for Submitting Effective Comments
