Insurance Coverage of Breast Reconstruction and Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer
Insurance companies in the United States are mandated by federal law to cover a patients' breast reconstructive procedure of choice in all cases of cancer, for those patients whom have had mastectomies in the past, as well as for surgery on the opposite breast to achieve symmetry. Know your rights!
Please refer your insurance company to the 1998 Federal Breast Cancer Reconstruction Law, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 and the Insurance Coverage State Laws.
Our business office has been successful in achieving insurance coverage for vascularized lymph node transfers as a treatment modality for lymphedema.
