The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) contains important protections for women with breast cancer who choose to have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. It was signed into law on October 21, 1998. The US Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services have oversight of this law.
Under WHCRA, mastectomy benefits must include coverage for:
Mastectomy benefits may have a yearly deductible
and coinsurance (a form of insurance in which health costs are insured
for less than the full amount and the patient is responsible for the
difference) but they must be like those established for other benefits
under the plan or coverage.
