Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please bring loose, comfortable clothing. If you are receiving localized surgical area drainage, wear clothing that allows for easy draping or access. We want you to be entirely relaxed during your session.
How many sessions of MLD will I need post-surgery?
Every patient's physiology dictates a different timeline. Generally, surgeons recommend a block of 3 to 6 sessions in the first two weeks post-op to rapidly flush the traumatic surgical inflammation and prevent hard fibrosis.
Do you supply and measure compression garments?
Yes. Getting the correct gradient compression is crucial. Our certified lymphedema therapists directly assist in the ordering, fitting, and donning process to ensure absolute precision.
Do I need a Doctor's referral?
While you don't strictly need a referral to book a consultation, it is highly useful to have your operative report or physician clearance on file for any active post-surgical or oncology recovery plans.
Do you take insurance or Medicare?
We bill Blue Cross and Aetna directly for covered therapy services. Please note that we actively do not accept Medicare or Medicare replacement plans. For other insurance plans or self-pay, payment is due at the time of service.
