The coverage starts January 1, 2024 for compression garments and bandaging supplies in the treatment of a lymphedema diagnosis. The medi team has been heavily involved with the USMCA (US Medical Compression Alliance) that has had a significant voice in the process and is committed to communicating the coverage results as it evolves.
