A four-week trial of conservative therapy demonstrating failed response to treatment is required. The four-
week trial of conservative therapy must include all of the following: 
 
    Regular and compliant use of an appropriate compression bandage system or compression garment to 
provide adequate graduated compression 
        Adequate compression is defined as (1) sufficient pressure at the lowest pressure point to cause fluid 
movement, and (2) sufficient pressure across the gradient (from highest to lowest pressure point) to move fluid 
from distal to proximal. The compression used must not create a tourniquet effect at any point. 
        The garment may be prefabricated or custom-fabricated but must provide adequate graduated compression 
starting with a minimum of 30 mmHg distally. 
    Regular exercise 
    Elevation of the limb 
 
The trial of conservative therapy must be documented in the beneficiarys medical record before prescribing 
any type of pneumatic compression device (E0650, E0651, E0652). This assessment may be performed by the 
treating practitioner, or any other licensed/certified medical professional (LCMP) directly involved in the 
beneficiarys lymphedema treatment. The LCMP may not have any financial relationship with the DMEPOS 
supplier providing the device. If the assessment is performed by an LCMP, the treating practitioner must 
receive and review the report of the evaluation. In addition, the treating practitioner must sign and date the 
report, and state concurrence or disagreement with the assessment. The signature date must be on or before the 
prescription date. You can find this information in Medicare's Local Coverage Determination (LCD):
