These services include:
* Reconstruction of the breast upon which the
mastectomy has been performed;
* Surgery/reconstruction of the other breast to produce a
symmetrical appearance;
* Prosthesis;
* Physical complications during all stages of mastectomy,
including lymph edemas.
The plan may not:
* Interfere with a woman’s right under the
plan to avoid these requirements;
* Offer inducements to the health provider, or assess penalties
against the health provider, in an attempt to interfere with the
requirements of the law.
However, the plan may apply deductibles and
co-insurance requirements consistent with other coverage
provided under the plan.
Things to Remember
* Show your identification Card
every time you go to the doctor.
* Be sure that all the providers (i.e., labs, x-rays, specialty
physicians, etc.) participate with your plan.
* Emergency Rooms are meant for accidents or life threatening
emergencies only!
* If you acquire or lose a dependent during the year, you must
notify Human Resources within 30 days and complete the
appropriate paperwork in order for the coverage change to take
effect during the plan year.
