Thanks for commenting, Nancy! You are so right. This change is unacceptable. I’m simultaneously shocked and also not surprised given the fight we have to have to get coverage for so many of the things we need. I’ll include your post as well once you are finished! It takes a village among us advocates and we are all doing our part!

Thank you for writing this. You beat me to it, and you’ve been on vacation! But seriously, this coding change is unacceptable. We really need this decision reversed. These more advanced breast reconstruction options, like DIEP, should be available to all women who want them – not just to those who can afford it. Insurers should not be deciding. I’ll link to your post in mine when I get it finished next week. Thank you for taking the lead.
