Did you know...???

Did you know that your insurance company pays for bras each year??? I have Medicare and they cover the cost of 4 bras per year and a form. My left side is just a tad smaller than the right.

I never bothered to get a form when I had the mastectomy eight years ago. I got so use to it and never even thought about it until a few months ago. I met a woman at a support group that works for a company that fits you for a bra, bills your insurance and ships to you. They supply bras, breast forms, bathing suits, camisoles and other medical supplies. I went yesterday (finally) to get fitted and picked out my 4 bras and a form. I love free stuff. The site is:

I am not pushing the site, but I had a really great experience and it was so easy. I just wanted to remind those that know and let everyone else that doesn't know that this is another free thing out there that you deserve and should do for your self. If there isn't a local chapter of Better Living near you, call your insurance company and ask what they cover and where you can go in your area.
