When I called Blue Shield again today, the gentleman representative told me my primary care physician and not my plastic surgeon needs to prescribe the mastectomy bra medication for me.

Sheesh ... I did then get a little testy (I'm now at phone call #4) and asked him if he had any clue what a "bra" was? When he didn't answer I said "it's a woman's undergarment that you started trying to get into and undo to get to second base when you were 13 years old... it's not a medication".
