Re: | Confirmation of Coverage for Compression Sleeves per Public Act 103-0091 |
This notice confirms the Department of Healthcare and Family Services’ (HFS) coverage of compression sleeves. This coverage is required under Public Act 103-0091.
The Act requires HFS to provide coverage for compression sleeves that are medically necessary to prevent or mitigate lymphedema. As HFS already provides compression sleeves under the fee-for-service (FFS) program and managed care plans, no coverage changes are necessary.
Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the Bureau of Professional and Ancillary Services at 877-782-5565.
