Now is the time for New York state to join the other 45 states of the Union that include pneumatic compression therapy as a covered benefit for Medicaid members who suffer from lymphedema because I'm a concerned physician.

People who suffer chronic conditions require consistent and reliable care. Especially at risk communities that rely on NYS Medicaid. These lymphedema pumps provide that. Please reconsider.

Please approve lymphedema pumps for those that suffer and need to manage lymphedema. I’ve seen great results from the use of pumps to manage pts edema and get them back to their independence again!

All patients should have access to care no matter what their insurance is. Please consider supporting this patient population to gain access to therapy that can help their quality of life and overall health.

These patients need coverage to help prevent their symptoms from worsening. Lymphedema is a life-long condition and if not treated as such and the patient doesn’t have access to to the tools and resources to improve their condition it will more than likely end up costing more dollars to the insurance in the long run by having to treat the side effects of lymphedema
