Please feel free to use any information from this website to help you get reimbursed for your liposuction for lipedema procedure. It is all provided at no cost and you can copy and paste anything to your site or link to this one. We will be updating frequently.
My role is not as an Advocate per se, but more as an educator or case manager. I am not being paid per patient–my goal is to get every patient and every insurance company to reimburse for liposuction for lipedema nationwide.
