[quote=Anonymous]Not OP. When I had my bilateral prophylactic mastectomy in 2006, my Federal BCBS covered the surgery but not the reconstruction. We had to appeal and they still wouldn't cover it ..all because I had not been diagnosed with breast cancer! I don't know if things are still the same. I would be interested in hearing whether or not the reconstruction IS covered by insurance now. Mine was done by a plastic surgeon, who had done a fellowship in breast reconstruction. I didn't really suffer emotionally at all from losing my natural breasts. I was relieved the moment I woke up and I am relieved whenever I hear the women around me at work talk about going for mammograms. Yuck. Glad that I don't have to do that anymore. [/quote]
