We list financial assistance on this resource page. Breast Reconstruction surgery is covered by law as part of WHCRA (Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act). However, the expenses related to breast reconstruction surgery and breast cancer can have a financial impact on patients. There are out of pocket deductibles, financial costs related to travel, and time taken off of work to name a few.
