		<description><![CDATA[Medicare will pay for breast reconstruction to repair the breast after injury, to improve the function of the breast, or to reconstruct one of both breasts after a mastectomy. Medicare will also cover the post surgery brassiere. This applies to elective (prophylactic) mastectomy for those with strong genetic markers to get breast cancer, as well as those who had the mastectomy as treatment for breast cancer.]]></description>
