Insurance

Good News! Insurance companies are required by law to cover breast reconstruction at any time after mastectomy, including surgery to the opposite breast for symmetry if needed. On this page below are links to the applicable laws.

Our patient support staff is well experienced in working with all major insurers and will help you work through the details of your individual insurance plan to facilitate you approval for reconstruction. If you have experienced a denial of coverage from your insurer please communicate this to our staff as problems with approval are often overcome with the proper documentation and support.
