People who have both Medicare and full Medicaid coverage are “dually eligible.” Medicare pays first when you’re dually eligible, meaning you are entitled to all of the coverage outlined on our Medicare page. Medicaid pays last, after Medicare and any other health insurance you have.
If you have Medicaid only, your coverage will be determined by your plan, and you should contact them for details. Many state Medicaid plans provided some coverage for compression supplies even before passage of the Lymphedema Treatment Act, and it is our goal to ensure that they all eventually adopt the same comprehensive coverage as Medicare.
