The Lymphedema Treatment Act (LTA) is a federal bill that aims to improve insurance coverage for the medically necessary, doctor-prescribed compression supplies that are the cornerstone of lymphedema treatment .We have reached a new milestone and something few bills ever accomplish – cosponsors from all 50 states! This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of many people.

Our House bill was introduced on 2/7/17, and assigned a bill number of HR 930 – Our Senate bill was introduced on 3/2/17, and assigned a bill number of S 497. Since then it has become the MOST supported healthcare bill in Congress.  This is a monumental achievement for any bill, but especially for ours, considering that few offices had even heard of lymphedema before we undertook this effort.
