Rita is right, if you have
Rita is right, if you have insurance, they do have to pay for it. And, since you are on this
site posting, and, from the title of your thread, I assume it is because you have bc. Check
with the ACS and see if they can
help you and contact the local hospitals and plastic surgeons. Some of them will do it for
free if you cannot pay for it. There are some wonderful people out there, just do some
calling and checking.

Hi there and welcome. I had a lumpectomy so I don't know a lot about breast implants, but, I am sure that your insurance has to pay for them, if you want them. But, I also think there is a time limit. But, I think that is a few years.
And, most hospitals will help a person with finances in anyway if you just contact them and go over everything with them.
Wishing you good luck!

Welcome Kitt! Your insurance will have to pay for implants or reconstruction. And, like they said, if you don't have insurance, contact the hospital and see if they can help with offering the surgery to you for free.

Hi Kitt and welcome to the site! As the others posted, your insurance has to pay for it. If you have no insurance, contact the American Cancer Society first. They can probably help you more than anyone in showing you who to contact.
Good luck to you!
