 How the TG community benefits
Prices for high quality breast forms can be very expensive. Most medical insurance plans allow for at least partial reimbursement for the purchase of breast forms and post-mastectomy bras each year (section 6109A of a 1974 Medicare ruling.) Unfortunately, this is limited to genetic women who have had breast surgery, and the Transgendered community cannot reduce the high costs for prostheses in this manner. The TG community can benefit from all of the work by the industry to develop materials and form shapes that resemble the natural female breast as closely as possible.
