The Health New Zealand offers a subsidy to people whom have undergone a partial or full mastectomy (unilateral or bilateral), an/or undergone lumpectomy, have congenital needs, or have undergone reconstructive surgery, as specified by specialist or general practitioner (GP).
The THEYA Healthcare Peony post-surgical bras are covered under this subsidy, and we strive to make this as easy as possible for you.
If you are a NZ citizen, or ordinary resident in New Zealand and your specialist gives you a current medical certificate with your NHI confirming your need for breast prothesis services; you can claim for the entitlement of $613.33 per side for a four-year period (or $1226.66 GST incl for bilateral).
The Breast Prosthesis Service Payment can be used for a prothesis or other related products (e.g. pocketed mastectomy bras and swimwear) after surgery for breast cancer.
Toomac Solutions is a proud registered supplier with the Ministry of Health and strive to make your claims as stress-free during your appointment with us. We fill in the product details and price on the Breast Prothesis Claim Form and ask you to fill in your personal details and sign the form. We complete an additional form (stating that they are claiming on your behalf) and forward both forms to Sector Operations, with your medical certificate (if this is your first claim). We recommend you keep a copy of the receipt we give you for your records.
