We are excited to announce a new initiative to help patients make more informed choices when they select their health insurance plans. From my own experience with my son, who was born with primary lymphedema, I know how difficult it can be to get straight answers from insurance companies and insurance brokers.
While coverage can change from year to year, a policy’s current benefits are often a good indicator of future coverage. Comparing coverage across many plans can highlight which insurers have better or worse coverage overall for lymphedema treatment supplies.
That’s why we are proud to share with you our 2025 Lymphedema Treatment Coverage Survey. This survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete and will be open until the end of September.
Results will be analyzed in October and published in November, just in time to assist patients in choosing their plans for the upcoming open enrollment period.
Please share the survey link with other patients you know. The more responses we receive, the more valuable the results will be for everyone. Parents, caregivers, and therapists may complete the survey on behalf of a patient unable to respond on their own, but please only submit one response per patient.
Your participation will help us continue to improve access to care for all Americans with lymphedema. Thank you for your support!
