Health insurance will generally cover services that are considered "medically necessary". A prophylactic mastectomy can be considered medically necessary, in some cases. Your insurer may have specific criteria for you to meet. For example, they may want to know your risk for breast cancer, or family history. Call your insurer, or ask your surgeon to contact them for you.
