Cigna generally does cover post-mastectomy bras and prosthetics as they're considered medically necessary under federal law, though specific coverage details can vary by plan. It's worth calling Cigna's customer service line with your plan information to get the exact coverage details, prior authorization requirements, and approved suppliers - having this information upfront can make the process much smoother.

You will need a script from your oncologist or surgeon. I found a lingerie business close by that processed the script and insurance for me.I also received a wig from the American Cancer society. I made an appointment to visit their office. Look for one in your area.
