Empowering the Lymphology Community The National Lymphedema Network's mission is to empower our community of lymphedema practitioners and patients by providing educational opportunities, networking opportunities, and interventional resources. We aim to inspire clinicians to provide world-class care for people with lymphedema by promoting best practice guidelines and standards of care. An Important Update About the Lymphedema Treatment Act The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently published a proposed rule with a portion dedicated to the Lymphedema Treatment Act and specifically the provision of lymphedema compression treatment items.
