✨We're happy to share some positive news for the breast cancer community! After pushback from healthcare providers, patients, and advocates, federal regulators have decided NOT to move forward with the insurance billing code change that would threaten patient access to DIEP flap reconstruction options. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/breast-cancer-reconstruction-diep-flap-federal-coding-change-backlash/

This is wonderful news that will help ensure breast cancer patients continue to have access to important reconstruction options like DIEP flap procedures. The advocacy efforts from the healthcare community and patients really made a difference in protecting these treatment choices for those who need them.
