Lymphedema and at-risk-limb management support homebound status through mobility limitation and intensive limb care; document the patient-specific evidence when present and do not overstate it.

An at-risk limb requiring skilled protection and monitoring after mastectomy or node dissection.
A lymphatic infection or complication that limits leaving home.
A need for assistance and a taxing effort to leave home where lymphatic management is ongoing.
