Is your insurance company refusing to cover your compression?

This letter supports insured benefits coverage for medical-grade compression garments for lipedema patients. It educates Canadian insurance providers on lipedema’s distinct medical needs, emphasizing the necessity of flat-knit, custom-measured compression as standard care, and advocates for standardized, equitable coverage to reduce financial barriers and improve patient outcomes.

Using This Letter to Appeal a Denial:
If your insurance claim is denied, include this letter in your appeal to explain why flat-knit, custom-made compression garments are medically necessary for lipedema. It outlines why cheaper, off-the-shelf options are not appropriate, helping your insurer understand the disease-specific requirements and improve your chances of approval.
