Women’s health and cancer rights for Individual plan members

Did you know that your plan, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services? For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for:

• All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed
• Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance
• Breast Prostheses
• Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.
  
  

These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under your plan. The deductibles and coinsurance information can be found in your plan documents.
