[quote=Anonymous]OP - are you a federal employee? I'm a fed and I have long been considering genetic testing and potential double mastectomy, but prior to the recent health legislation, I was concerned about getting a positive result to the genetic testing and then having insurance companies limit my treatment because of "preexisting" conditions. It seems like that is no longer a threat, so I've been getting ready to start this journey. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 50, my grandmother in her 60s, and my grandmother's sister died of it in her 30s. Can you share a little bit more about how difficult it was to get your insurance to cover the elective procedure? Were they willing to do it just based on the doctor recommendation, or did it take some time to build the case? [/quote]
