Insurance differences
Insurance issues
I would like to know why men are not covered (at least I am not) for the after effects of prostate removal. I have noticed that women are covered for breast implants which is purely cosmetic while men are not covered for penile implants which is anything but cosmetic. Also, while I was on hormone therapy I developed gynocomastia which I was never told would be permanent, and that too is not covered. I wonder why insurance companies treat these 2 cancers differently.
