Mastectomy Benefits

In accordance with the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, our Health Plan provides for the following services related to mastectomy surgery:

• Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed
• Surgery and reconstruction of the non-diseased breast to produce a symmetrical appearance without regard to the lapse of time between the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery
• Prostheses and physical complications of all stages of the mastectomy, including lymphedemas.

The benefits described above are subject to the same co-payment or coinsurance and limitations as applied to other medical and surgical benefits provided by our Health Plan.
