The Women’s Health Care and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires health insurance plans that offer breast cancer coverage, provide coverage for prostheses and reconstruction.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons was instrumental in recently securing the passage of the Breast Cancer Patient Education Act to empower women to make informed decisions about their health care. To learn more visit Plastic Surgery and Breast Reconstruction USA.
