  • 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!!

  • Kathy DeRenzy I have a 10 year female on my case load.  She has moderated lymphedema of her left lower extremity.  I don't have a lot of experience with pediatric lymphedema.  Does any one have any suggestions?  Do you use grey foam padding?  I don't want to be too aggressive.  Thanks Kathy

  • Jeremy Johnson Can you bill a self-care when you are assisting a family member with wrapping if the patient isn't able to wrap themselves?
