     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comprehensive Breast Reconstruction Act of &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill provides for Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance coverage of certain tattooing services in connection with post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, and aligns the scope of Medicare and Medicaid coverage of such breast reconstruction with that of private health insurance. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill provides for coverage of reconstructive tattooing services that are performed by a health care practitioner or state-licensed tattoo artist pursuant to a physician prescription, and expands Medicare and Medicaid coverage to include all stages of reconstruction, surgery to produce a symmetrical appearance, and prostheses and physical complications of mastectomies (e.g., lymphedemas).&lt;/p&gt;
