Visit this page often as we will be updating our forms and documents often [FEB 2021]. Since I first created this page I have decided to update the major documents on their POST Page. For example The Reimbursement Guidebook and Checklist, the two most important documents both have their own post. You can search all Posts by keyword.
Most documents, but not all, are included in the Liposuction for lipedema Reimbursement Guidebook. In particular, those that favor a Spreadsheet format are only summarized in the Guidebook. Always download the One-Page Checklists first.
Feel free to share all the information on this site with your friends and User Groups. These will be either .doc or .xls format so you can cut-and-paste, edit, sort and organize the material to benefit you the most. The first download below is the updated Checklist in both PDF and Excel format. Next is the Reimbursement Guidebook.
The two documents above are the official ICD-10-CM NCHS/CDC submission for 2022 for lipedema and lipolymphedema submitted June 12 2020.
Below is a spreadsheet documenting the different names used for liposuction for lipedema in research.
The Request for Policy Evaluation above is a cut-and-paste document you can use to get a Single-Case-Agreement or request the carrier change their global policy. It can be used for any type of carrier. Either way it has 50 research references and is packed with valuable information.
