Episode 3: “Will insurance cover this procedure?”
Many people ask me this, and the answer may be better than you think. The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 states that if your insurance covers a mastectomy, it must also cover the tattoo procedure as part of your reconstruction.
I can provide a detailed receipt with the insurance codes and information you may need. I always advise my patients to call their insurance company first and ask what documentation they need to consider reimbursement. Many of my patients have had great success getting reimbursed, which helps defray the cost.
