Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) of 1998

Under this Federal Act most group insurance plans that cover mastectomies also must cover breast reconstruction.

This covers reconstruction of the breast  to produce a symmetrical appearance, external breast prostheses, and any physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas. 

Coverage is subject to the Plan's normal rules, including in-network co-payments or out-of-network annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions. 

If you have any questions about this law, including Plan benefits for mastectomies or reconstructive surgery, please contact Margie Ward, Employee Benefits Administrator at (480) 644-4421.
