My mom was first diagnosed with BrCa at age 30 and contralateral BrCa at 48 years old; she is BrCa1 mutation carrier so are my cousins which are twins and her mom died of ovarian cancer at age 41; their mom is my aunt and my mom's sister.I have had for the past 4 years more than 3 breast biopsies until last year where i came accross with atypia.Can the group insurance cover my prophylactic mastectomy?I live Fl.
