Compression Devices Used by the Lipedema Mamas

Welcome! You know from listening to the Lipedema Mamas podcast that lipedema can be physically and mentally debilitating, confusing, and exhausting. We can help.

Pneumatic Compression Devices (PCD), also called compression pumps or lymphedema pumps, can non-invasively help manage symptoms by:

• Reducing pain and swelling
• Improving circulation
• Enhancing mobility

How to Get a Pneumatic Compression Device

First Step: Prescription from a Physician
Compression devices require a diagnosis and prescription from your primary care physician or a specialist. Depending on the diagnosis, you can either utilize your insurance or pay out of pocket.

Lipedema and Lymphedema Diagnosis: Using Insurance
Many people who have lipedema also have lymphedema, a chronic condition in which lymph fluid builds up in the body and creates significant swelling and pain.

Pneumatic compression devices are covered by Medicare and most commercial insurances for people who have been diagnosed with lymphedema. If your doctor diagnoses you with lymphedema and lipedema, you will likely be able to use insurance to get a device.

Lipedema Only Diagnosis: Paying Out of Pocket
If your physician diagnoses you with lipedema, but thinks that a compression device would help your symptoms and writes you a prescription for a device, you can pay out of pocket for a device.
