Lymphedema Compression Treatment Items
This content is for health care providers to inform them as to new coverage for their compression garment needs. If you’re a person with Medicare, learn more about your Medicare coverage for lymphedema compression treatment items.
Starting January 1, 2024, Medicare will pay for lymphedema compression treatment items for Medicare Part B patients.
What’s Covered?
We’ll pay for standard and custom-fitted lymphedema compression treatment items for each affected body part, including:
• Compression garments, including those for daytime and nighttime, which offer different levels of compression
• Compression bandaging systems and supplies provided during the initial decongestion phase and maintenance phases of treatment
• Gradient compression wraps with adjustable straps
• Necessary accessories for gradient compression garments and wraps, including:
o Aids for putting on and taking off (donning and doffing) items for different body parts, like lower limb butlers or foot slippers that help patients put on compression stockings
o Fillers
o Lining
o Padding
o Zippers
How Often?
We pay for compression garments:
• Daytime: 3 garments per affected body part every 6 months
• Nighttime: 2 garments per affected body part every 2 years
We also pay for items, as needed:
• To replace lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged items
• If a patient’s condition changes, like a change in limb size
Who’s Eligible?
We’ll pay for these treatment items when:
• The patient has Medicare Part B coverage (their annual Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance will apply)
• The patient has lymphedema (a chronic condition that causes swelling in the body's tissues) and will use the item to primarily and customarily treat it
• An authorized practitioner prescribes the item

For DVT Awareness Month, we’re discussing all things venous disease. 💚

What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)? Damaged veins can cause blood clotting (thrombus) in your deep veins, which is known as DVT. This usually occurs in the legs, but can also be found in the pelvic, arm, or neck veins.
