Mary, First off, certification is not required for Medicare reimbursement. I do not know about other insurance companies or any State laws which may apply to your situaion. But if you do seek certification there are two levels;
1. The School you attend may certify you locally 2. There is a certification test for National certification from LANA - Lymphology Assoc of N. America, www.clt-lana.org I sort of liken this situation to being a hand therapist. A CHT is not required to do UE therapy, but studying for the credential should increase you knowledge and improve your marketabililty.
