Lymphedemaville

I wanted to put in a reminder about Lymphedema Stakeholders PAC.

I urge all our visitors and members to visit the website:

Who Are We?:

Lymphedema Stakeholders Political Action Committee is a non-profit
organization (501C4) formed to protect the rights of all lymphedema
patients.

Our Mission:

The mission of the Lymphedema Stakeholders PAC is to advance the
quality of care for lymphedema patients, and to protect patients'
rights to comprehensive lymphedema therapy from providers who meet
standards established by the Lymphology Association of North America
(LANA).

and support this action committee and its efforts.

The biggest concern at this time is in the change in the Medicare rule
effecting reimbursement for therapy services.

Here are other important pages you will want to read:
