According to the Women's Health and Cancer Act of 1998, Insurance companies are required to provide benefits to post breast surgery patients. Benefits are provided to women who have had a mastectomy, reconstruction, lumpectomy, or surgery to achieve symmetry, between the breasts. Benefits provided are subject to deductibles, co-insurance applicable to your policy.
