The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) was signed into law in 1998.
Are all insurance companies required to provide this coverage?
Generally yes. Group health plans, insurance companies, and HMOs that provide coverage for mastectomies are required to follow the WHCRA. Some church and government plans may fall outside the scope of the law. If you believe that you are insured as part of a church or government plan, you should check with your plan administrator.
