It’s important that your prescription for lymphedema treatment is complete. If anything is missing, the RAMQ may refuse your claim for compression garments.
Similarly, your insurer may refuse your claim for the lymphatic decongestive treatment recommended before ordering your first compression garment, or your claim for the portion of your compression garments not reimbursed by the RAMQ.
The LAQ has prepared a sample prescription to help you ensure that you benefit from all available financial assistance.
The Lymphedema Association of Québec (LAQ) provides support, education, and awareness to individuals living with lymphedema, lipedema, or lipo-lymphedema, as well as to their families, loved ones, and healthcare professionals.
We inform and educate about these chronic conditions – their causes, risks of progression (including how lipedema can develop into lipo-lymphedema), and the available conservative and postoperative treatment options, such as decongestive therapy and compression.
We also actively support scientific research aimed at improving care and advancing knowledge toward a cure.
