Dear professionals and corporate members
You will be happy to know that RAMQ has corrected the covered amounts for lower extremity compression garments.
The LAQ, which has been working on this correction for you since the fall of 2018, is very proud to announce it. We were informed of this just today.
The new amounts covered by RAMQ for lower extremity compression garments will go into effect on Saturday, January 22 and will be corrected on the RAMQ website on the same date.
If one of your customers needs to complete a purchase by Saturday, you may want to submit their request in a timely manner.
In addition, the RAMQ tells us that the reimbursement implementation process is continuing regarding the financial feedback granted to insured persons who have paid an excess share on the purchase of a custom knee or thigh stocking since August 22, 2018. The LAQ will keep you informed of the progress of this matter so that you can answer your clients' questions.
Knowing that you have long been waiting for a more equitable reimbursement that takes into account current market purchase costs, we thank you for your patience and assure you of our dedication to advocating on behalf of people living with lymphedema.
Anne-Marie Joncas
President
