Latest guides and stories
Before you buy: check what’s covered
Mastectomy bras and breast forms are often partly or fully covered, so it’s worth asking before you pay full price.
- United States: under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, group health plans that cover mastectomy must also cover prostheses. Many plans and Medicare also cover a set number of post-mastectomy bras each year with a prescription.
- United Kingdom: breast prostheses are provided free through the NHS. Ask your breast care nurse about a fitting.
- Canada and Europe: coverage depends on your province or country and your insurer. Your care team or local cancer society can tell you what applies.
This is general information, not medical or insurance advice. Rules change and differ by plan, so please confirm with your provider or care team.
