Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act Notice
The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires that all UPHS
medical plans cover the following medical services in connection with coverage
for a mastectomy: reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has
been performed; surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a
symmetrical appearance; and prostheses and physical complications in all
stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas.
These services shall be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the
attending physician and the patient. Coverage for these medical services are
subject to applicable deductibles and coinsurance amounts.
Michelle’s Law
Effective January 1, 2010, if your child loses his or her status as a full-time
student (for example, takes a leave of absence or changes to part-time status)
because of a serious illness or injury, he or she may continue to be covered
under the UPHS health care plans. Coverage can continue for up to 12 months
from the date of the change in student status, unless your child loses eligibility for
another reason, such as reaching the plan’s age limit.
