Insurance Coverage for Lymphedema Compression Garments and Supplies

This resource, created by the Lymphedema Advocacy Group and the Lymphedema Education & Awareness Project, is a patient-facing guide to understanding insurance coverage for lymphedema compression garments and supplies under the Lymphedema Treatment Act (LTA). It outlines eligible garments and supplies, coverage requirements, out-of-pocket costs, and what patients can do if a claim is denied.

Over My Head Boutique encourages providers to print and share this document with any patient who may benefit from lymphedema compression garments, as navigating insurance coverage can be overwhelming, and having this information in hand can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s access to care.
