- Lipedema affects almost exclusively women; abnormally enlarged fat cells accumulate mainly in the legs and sometimes the arms, which can become painful when pressed or touched.
- Conservative treatment includes manual lymph drainage, compression garments, exercise, dietary counseling and skin care; if these measures do not help, liposuction may be considered, an operation many patients previously paid for themselves and which Peggy Bergert puts at about €6,000 per complete package on average.
- Statutory health insurance is intended to cover the procedure regardless of disease stage but requires six months of unsuccessful conservative treatment, calls for obesity treatment first when BMI exceeds 35 and imposes restrictions for BMI levels from 32 to 35; repeat operations are excluded.
- The decision must first be reviewed by the Health Ministry and will take effect only after publication in the Federal Gazette, while the G-BA expects the necessary billing codes to be established by January 1, 2026.
