The "Lymphedema Treatment Act” is a federal bill that will amend Medicare statute to provide for coverage of the compression supplies used in the treatment of lymphedema. Although this legislation relates specifically to a change in Medicare law, it would set a precedent for Medicaid and private insurers to follow. Please go to www.LymphedemaTreatmentAct.org to learn more, and to contact your members of Congress and ask them to support this important bill.
The Lymphedema Advocacy Group is an all-volunteer, nationwide patient advocacy group leading the effort to pass this important legislation.
