Can you bill medicare for breast prosthesis?

Medicare will pay for the prefabricated off-the-shelf silicone forms and the pocketed bras which is required to wear them. Medicare pays for a custom fabricated prosthetic for all body parts, except a woman's breast. Medicare does not consider it medically necessary for a woman to have an individualized custom prosthetic replacement for their lost breast. Medicare, however does pay for penis pumps for men, apparently considering an erection a medical necessity. There are currently bills in Congress that would require Medicare to offer women this option so hopefully with enough support via letters to Senators and Congressional Representatives, women will soon have the same choices as everyone else.
