Does Medicare cover Breast reconstructive surgery after bilateral prophylactic Mastectomy for patients with BRCA positive gene mutation and strong family hx (medical history) of breast cancer?
Answer: Insurance is required to cover breast reconstruction Thankfully, Congress has supported women's right to pursue breast reconstruction by passing the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act in 1998 and, more recently, the Breast Cancer Patient Education Act. These acts ensure that all insurance companies cover breast reconstruction for women who have undergone mastectomies.
