- lymphedema;
- prosthetic devices;
- a custom fabricated breast prothesis for each breast on which a mastectomy has been performed;
- one additional breast prothesis for each breast affected by a mastectomy;
- all stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed; and
