Understanding Your Coverage Rights
The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA)
If your health plan covers a mastectomy, federal law mandates that it must also cover all stages of breast reconstruction.
This vital protection means your insurance is required to cover the reconstruction of the removed breast, surgery on your opposite breast to achieve beautiful symmetry, and treatments for physical complications, including lymphedema. You are legally entitled to feel whole and balanced.

How We Advocate For You
We handle the paperwork, so you can focus on healing.
Navigating the insurance landscape requires expertise, and you do not have to do it alone. Our staff works directly with your insurance provider to streamline the process.
Benefit Verification
Before you even begin planning your surgery, our team will proactively verify your specific insurance benefits. We take the time to determine exactly what your plan covers and clearly explain your network status, so there are never any surprises.
Pre-Authorization
Insurance approvals require meticulous documentation. Our staff takes this burden off your shoulders by submitting all necessary clinical records, photographs, and detailed surgical plans directly to your insurance company to secure the required pre-authorizations for your care.
Single-Case Agreements
If we are out-of-network but you require specialized microsurgical care unavailable within your network, we will actively negotiate for a single-case agreement to help cover your procedure.
Transparent Guidance
Once your benefits are verified and authorized, we will walk you through your exact coverage. We provide a clear, upfront explanation of any deductibles, co-pays, or out-of-pocket costs well before your surgery day, so you can make informed, empowered decisions
