Breast reconstruction
The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 includes important protection for breast cancer patients who elect breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy. Our coverage complies with this legislation and includes the following:
- Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed for treatment of cancer
- Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance
- Prostheses and other care to alleviate physical complications of all stages of a mastectomy
