Covered?

Restrictions are not based on WHEN your mastectomy was, but by use and need of a mastectomy bra. All you need is a prescription from your doctor for an L8000 Mastectomy Bra and Breast Form if desired.

Generally, most insurance companies allow 4-6 bras per year. You can ask the person in charge of running your claim about the exact number allowed by your insurer. Insurance orders are only able to be placed for the number of bras listed on your prescription. Most insurances cover about 6 bras, however, if your prescription does not list a number, it will default to 1 bra. If you would like to order more bras than what is listed on your prescription, an updated prescription will be required.

Reconstruction is not always perfect, and a balance form or other breast prosthesis may be needed. It is important to get your prescription from your surgeon or plastic surgeon for a L8000 coded pocketed mastectomy bra and apply to check your coverage.

Yes, you are. Your doctor or surgeon can write a prescription for a L8000 pocketed mastectomy bra and you can apply to check your coverage.

Many AnaOno styles are pocketed bras that adhere to L8000 code. You can view these styles by browsing our pocketed bras collection, or viewing styles based on your surgery type.

Any doctor within your course of treatment can prescribe your breast forms and mastectomy bras, but we suggest your breast surgeon or plastic surgeon as they are accustomed to writing these prescriptions.

Be sure your diagnosis code is written on the prescription as well as the amount of mastectomy bras deemed medically necessary. We recommend asking for a minimum of four bras, that way you don’t have to go back right away for another prescription.

Insurance orders are only able to be placed for the number of bras listed on your prescription.

Once passed to the provider for processing, prescriptions are valid for up to 90 days. That means, you don’t have to make a full commitment on your first order. You can request one bra, check the size, fit, and style, and then order additional bras without needing a new prescription.

It depends. Medicare & Medicaid may require an upgrade fee to process AnaOno bras through the insurance, and this depends on if they are your primary or secondary insurance.
