This is interesting to me as I am STILL fighting my insurance to cover revisions to my reconstruction I started last year. They are saying it is cosmetic and not covered. Anyone know HOW to enforce this law on your insurers? I've appealed and appealed and they've now approved revisions to my left breast but not my right - even thought they covered a right proph mastectomy last year. VERY frustrating, especially when I hear things like this about they have to cover it until you're satisfied. I would check with them thoroughly before you do anything. Good luck! Anyone else got any suggestions?
