Summary
This bill amends Medicare law to require healthcare providers to inform patients about breast reconstruction surgery coverage before performing a mastectomy and to document that information in the patient's medical record. The requirement applies to mastectomies performed one year after the bill's enactment. The bill ensures Medicare beneficiaries are aware that breast reconstruction following a medically necessary mastectomy is a covered benefit under existing Medicare policy.
