Bill > HR10060

This bill, the Medicare Breast Reconstruction Access and Information Act, amends the Social Security Act to require that providers inform Medicare beneficiaries undergoing a medically necessary mastectomy that breast reconstruction surgery is covered under Medicare. Specifically, the bill states that no payment may be made for a mastectomy under Medicare unless the provider furnishing the mastectomy informs the individual that breast reconstruction surgery is covered and documents this in the individual's medical record. This aims to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries are aware of their coverage for breast reconstruction surgery following a medically necessary mastectomy.
