Luna Medical

What Luna Medical does

Luna Medical, Inc. is a Florida-incorporated, family-owned durable medical equipment (DME) company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and founded in 1996 by Marianne Luh. The company specializes in compression therapy products for patients with lymphedema and chronic venous disease, operating as an authorized nationwide distributor of branded compression garments rather than a manufacturer. Its product catalog spans 13 manufacturer lines including Jobst, Sigvaris, Juzo, CircAid, Farrow, Haddenham, JoviPak, L&R, Medi, Pure Medical, and Thuasne/Mobiderm, covering compression arm sleeves, gauntlets, gloves, leg stockings, wraps, and nightwear in both custom-measured and standard sizes.

The company generates revenue through two streams: hardware sales of distributed compression garments and professional services encompassing insurance authorization, billing, and case management. Luna Medical is structured around a dual reimbursement model serving Medicare patients and commercially insured patients, with the company handling verification of benefits, prior authorization, claim submission, and patient communication. Distribution is conducted via a toll-free phone line (1-800-380-4339), email, and the company website, supplemented by referral relationships with lymphedema therapists, wound care programs, oncology clinics, and vascular clinics across the United States.

Operationally, Luna Medical runs a small organization (11-50 employees) with no external institutional capital, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. Technology infrastructure is intentionally lean and relies on third-party HIPAA-compliant vendors including MedForward for patient intake forms and hmebillpay.com for patient bill payment. The company positions itself as a patient advocate focused on transparency around insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses, with a stated policy of never billing out of network without prior patient consent.

Broad incumbents

• Medi USA: U.S. arm of German compression manufacturer (medi) producing Mediven lymphedema sleeves and Mondi garments. Competes with Luna by selling direct to patients and through DME channels; Luna carries medi products as a distributor.
• Sigvaris: Swiss compression garment manufacturer with strong U.S. presence in lymphedema and venous disease compression wear. Direct sales plus wholesale channels overlap with Luna's distribution model; Luna distributes Sigvaris lines including ChipSeries and traditional stockings.
• Juzo: Manufacturer of medical compression stockings, sleeves, and garments for lymphedema and venous disease. Comparable because Luna distributes Juzo products directly but Juzo also sells direct, making it both supplier and competitor with overlapping end-customer access.
• L&R USA: Manufacturer of compression therapy products including TributeNight, ReadyWrap, and ExoSoft lines. Luna distributes L&R products; L&R also sells direct, making it both a key supplier and a partial competitor in lymphedema compression distribution.
• AdaptHealth: Large public DME provider offering sleep, respiratory, diabetes, and increasingly lymphedema/compression products through insurance billing. Comparable as a nationwide DME distributor operating in payer-covered product categories, though at substantially larger scale than Luna.
• BSN medical (Essity) — Jobst brand: Owner of the Jobst compression garment brand, one of Luna's core manufacturer partners. Jobst sells both through DME distributors like Luna and directly to patients, creating partial overlap in patient access and direct competitive pressure on Luna's margins.

Direct peers

• BrightLife Direct: Online compression garment retailer specializing in lymphedema, venous, and post-mastectomy products from brands like Jobst, Juzo, Sigvaris, and Medi. Direct competitor to Luna in the same patient segment with a similar multi-brand distributor model, though more e-commerce-led versus Luna's phone/provider-referral orientation.
• Cascade Healthcare Solutions: Specialty distributor of compression therapy and lymphedema products carrying multiple brands (Jobst, Juzo, Sigvaris, Medi). Direct competitor with a similar multi-brand DME distributor model serving patients nationwide through insurance billing.
• Allegro Medical: Online DME retailer offering compression garments, lymphedema supplies, and a broad home medical equipment catalog. Comparable to Luna as a multi-category DME distributor targeting both Medicare and commercial-pay patients with phone/online ordering.

Emerging players

• Norav Medical (Carolon): Manufacturer and supplier of compression garments for venous and lymphatic conditions. Comparable as a smaller specialty player in lymphedema compression distribution with overlapping manufacturer-distributor dynamics to Luna's supplier base.
