Health Insurance benefits

Insurance benefits for breast cancer and reconstruction

All of Dr. Schwartz’s breast cancer and reconstructive surgeries, including revisions of previous breast reconstructions, are covered by health insurance under The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA):

The Woman’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) is a federal law that mandates insurance coverage for breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. Under WHCRA, Insurance plans that cover mastectomy are also required to provide coverage for breast reconstruction, including surgery on the opposite breast for symmetrical results and any necessary post-operative care.

Insurance benefits for breast reduction

As a breast reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Schwartz performs hundreds of breast reductions each year. His expertise and attention to detail are sought after by women and highly recommended by insurance companies to patients in need of breast reduction. Breast reduction surgery can have a significant impact on a woman’s quality of life. However, the cost of the procedure can be a major concern for many patients. Fortunately, many of our accepted insurance plans cover breast reduction surgery, but it’s important to understand your coverage and benefits before undergoing the procedure. Please contact us and our experienced staff will guide you through the process of verifying your benefits for breast reduction.
