Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA)
Under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, all plans like this one that cover mastectomies are also required to cover related reconstructive surgery. Available reconstructive surgery must include both reconstruction of the breast on which the surgery was performed and surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to provide a symmetrical appearance. Coverage must also be available for breast prostheses and for the physical complications of mastectomy, including lymph node edemas. These services are elective and are chosen by the patient in consultation with the attending physician. They are subject to the Plan’s usual provisions regarding deductibles, benefit maximums, coinsurance and co-payments.
