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.
