Request Your Consultation
“I’m not settling for basic, standard results. The idea of mediocre, standard, or average - I push way past that. I don’t accept the bare minimum.”—Dr. Linville
If you are in need of breast reconstruction, we invite you to reach out to Dr. Linville at our Houston plastic surgery office to request a consultation. If you decide he is the right surgeon to perform your procedure, he can coordinate with your oncologist to plan a safe and seamless journey to a healthy, confident new you.
Insurance and Breast Reconstruction
The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA) requires both group and individual health insurance policies that cover mastectomy to cover subsequent breast reconstruction. This applies to all stages of reconstruction for the breast that received the mastectomy, as well as treatment of the other breast to achieve symmetry. It also applies to virtually any means of reconstruction, including the use of implants and analogous tissue.
During your consultation, our friendly staff will be able to tell you how much your insurance plan will cover, as well as your estimated out-of-pocket total.
Reconstruction & Prevention Treating BRCA Patients
If you have been diagnosed with a change in the BCRA1 or BCRA2 gene and are considering a preventive mastectomy, Dr. Linville can recreate your bust following surgery. He has worked with many patients who chose this method of breast cancer risk reduction to achieve results that provide not only peace of mind, but also confidence.
The WHCRA applies to preventive mastectomy in the same way it applies to patients undergoing mastectomy to treat cancer. If you are considering this treatment, Dr. Linville can work with you to create a custom breast reconstruction plan that helps you look and feel your best following your mastectomy.
