This section borrows the mastectomy reconstruction coverage rules from another part of federal law. Those rules apply to group health plans and to insurers selling group or individual coverage. The rules apply as if written directly into this section.

This section does not contain its own rules. Instead, it takes the rules already written in section 1185b of title 29 (a different part of the U.S. Code) and applies them here too. Those rules cover two kinds of health coverage providers: group health plans, and health insurance issuers that sell either group or individual health insurance coverage. The effect is as if the text of section 1185b were copied directly into this part of the law ("this subpart"). Because the supplied text does not include the actual content of section 1185b, this translation cannot describe what those reconstructive-surgery coverage rules require — only that they now apply to group health plans and to issuers of group or individual coverage.

The provisions of section 1185b of title 29 shall apply to group health plans, and and 1 health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage, as if included in this subpart.
