Missing compression garment manufacturer deadlines could mean waiting until 2027 for coverage, potentially leaving you without needed compression therapy.
Why Year-End Ordering Matters
Custom compression garments require specialized manufacturing that can take several weeks from order submission to delivery. According to the Lymphatic Education & Research Network, properly fitted compression garments are essential for effective lymphedema management. December represents the busiest ordering period as patients nationwide rush to utilize annual benefits that usually end on Dec. 31, making it essential to submit orders well before manufacturer cutoff dates.
2026 Manufacturer Ordering Deadlines
This is the busiest time of the year for us and the manufacturers. Each manufacturer has established clear deadlines to ensure delivery by December 31st, 2026. All orders must be 100% complete and accepted into production by these dates:
