Custom Compression & Post-Mastectomy Garments

Did you know that every health insurance plan that covers mastectomy must by law cover external mastectomy prosthesis? Thanks to the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA), even if you must undergo a mastectomy for a health reason other than cancer, several reconstructive benefits are available. The law requires coverage for:

• All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed;
• Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and
• Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of all stages of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

Compression therapy for lymphedema and other forms of edema not related to a mastectomy is unfortunately still not covered by many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. And even if your insurance plan covers these benefits, they still require evidence of the “medical necessity” of such therapy, which means that you need a prescription from your physician.

If you are a new customer with a prescription, please call our Home Health Department @  (360)457-3462.  We are anticipating our current Certified Fitter may be out of the office starting July 18th through mid October 2024.  Our Customer Service Representatives will be more than happy to provide you with a referral.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Any existing customers needing to order replacement items or supplies will still be assisted by our Customer Service Representatives at the number listed above.  If there is a significant change in your condition that may require a new fitting, we will unfortunately need to  refer you to the nearest clinic to schedule an appointment.  Thank you.
