Lymphedema Treatment Act
Important Coverage Changes Proposed
While Medicare and other policies cover some lymphedema treatment and devices, the coverage is not comprehensive. In particular, compression supplies (including gradient compression garments, bandages, and other devices), which are needed to maintain the condition are typically not covered - resulting in recurrent infections, progressive degradation, and eventual disability in patients that cannot afford the supplies. This legislation relates specifically to a change in Medicare law, however, its passage would set a precedent for Medicaid and private insurers to follow.
Become involved!
The Chikly Health Institute, the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS) and the International Association of Healthcare Educators (IAHE) are fully supportive of this new legislation. More endorsements are needed by lymphedema practitioners, treatment clinics, prominent doctors and researchers, training schools, manufacturers and suppliers of lymphedema treatment products, Foundations, non-profits, and advocacy organizations. Here's how you and other groups can endorse this act:
Help build awareness among patients!

New IAHE Offering
ACOLS & Chikly Partner
We are pleased
to announce that a dynamic arrangement has been developed between International Alliance of Healthcare Educators (IAHE) members - The Chikly Health Institute (CHI) and the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS). The result is a very special limited availability pricing and access offer for Chikly alumni to a premium program of certification and practice resources related to lymphedema care.
The Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS) is considered by many to be the leading school in the United States for lymphedema certification training. Founded in 1994 by Joachim E. Zuther, MLD/CDT Certified Instructor, it was the first school in the U.S. to offer Lymphedema Therapy Certification courses according to the European curriculum. Zuther is a founding member of the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA) and the author of the textbook Lymphedema Management (Thieme Medical and Scientific Publishers, New York, 2005).
In forming the ACOLS relationship, Dr. Bruno Chikly said,"This is an opportunity for us to collaborate with a highly respected organization for the lymphedema management certification."
