Hi Everyone,
I’ve had a request from my followers on TikTok about how to get a lymph press machine approved through insurance. I realized I hadn’t written about that yet, so I’ll tell you how I went through the process.
First, you’ll need to receive active lymph management from a therapist
When I was diagnosed last year, I started working towards my three months of documented conservative therapy for surgery.
I looked around for a physical therapist who did lymphatic drainage. I didn’t have to look far! The hospital where I work has outpatient physical therapy. One of the PTs I work with is certified in lymph drainage.
My PCP has been an advocate for me, so when I asked him if he could prescribe physical therapy, he was more than happy to do so.
