from Lymphedema Podcast · host Betty Westbrook
This episode discusses recent changes in Medicare policies regarding a four-week trial for pneumatic compression pumps, used to manage lymphedema. While there was initial confusion that Medicare removed the requirement for a four-week trial, Betty clarifies that the trial is still necessary. However, certain wording and specific anatomical measurements have been relaxed, and the requirement for “no significant improvement” for coverage has been removed. Betty emphasizes the importance of continued education and research to provide accurate information to the lymphedema community.
