  • Eileen Rosin Just heard of you yesterday for the first time, and also heard of the Lymphedema Treatment Act for the first time -- I'd had no idea such a thing existed. I'll read up on it.

  • Deb Monroe Hi, I have seen a therapist for lymphedema in my left leg. She has given me instructions on how to perform the "c" type massage. To reinforce what she has taught, I would appreciate any recommendations for good videos or other media that I might access from my computer. Thank you!

  • Katie Spurrier My right arm lymphedema was diagnosed in December. I went through 2 weeks of treatment in January and now wear a gauntlet and sleeve.  I'm starting to see a little improvement.  My question concerns insurance reimbursement for compression  garments.  My ins. company covered the gauntlet but refused to cover the sleeve because it wasn't pre-approved.  The problem may lie in the code that was used to submit the claim.  I remember reading on a lymphedema website about other people having code issues and there was information about the 'correct' code.  Does anyone have that information?  Thanks!!
