We are pleased to share that the lawsuit filed in 2024 against Cover Lipedema Co., Inc. has been dismissed with prejudice.
Lipedema Coverage Connection (LCC) was not a named defendant in that lawsuit. However, critics have used it to try to undermine the efforts of its founders to make safe, effective, and fully covered lipedema surgery widely available for women afllicted by this disease.
Coverlipedema ceased operations at the end of 2024. Since January 2025, Lipedema Coverage Connection has carried forward the important mission of helping women with lipedema navigate the difficult process of obtaining insurance coverage for safe and effective surgical treatment.
With the litigation now concluded, our focus remains where it belongs: on the women with lipedema who need help.
LCC will continue working to improve access to safe and effective lipedema surgery, educate patients about insurance coverage, advocate for appropriate coverage decisions, and help women navigate a healthcare system that can be extraordinarily difficult to understand.
We are excited about LCC’s future and the opportunity to continue this work on behalf of the lipedema community.
