Breast prostheses
Medicare covers breast prostheses depending on where you get them
Coverage details
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers surgically implanted breast prostheses after a mastectomy if the surgery takes place in an inpatient setting.
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers the surgery if it takes place in an outpatient setting. Part B also covers some external breast prostheses (including a post-surgical bra) after a mastectomy.
Costs
After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for the doctor's services and the external breast prostheses.
