I recently attended a weekend seminar that covered lipedema surgery and everything involved in pre- and post-surgery care, including the necessary purchase of compression garments.
I found that a lot of women have paid out-of-pocket for their compression for daily use and for surgery. And specialized compression can cost hundreds of dollars.
Compression is a necessary medical treatment for lipolymphedema. Compression garments should be considered durable medical equipment (DME) similar to a walker, a lymphatic pump, or even oxygen.
Even though compression garments are often medically necessary for lipedema, many insurance plans will only reimburse them if the diagnosis is lymphedema (ICD-10: I89.0 or similar). But there are ways to navigate this.
Before I get into it, I want to also give you something!
