NRS 616C.185
Compensation for mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

1.

If compensation is paid to an employee under chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS for the surgical procedure known as a mastectomy, the employee is also entitled to receive commensurate compensation for at least two prosthetic devices and for reconstructive surgery incident to the mastectomy. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, this compensation is subject to the same requirements and conditions that apply to the compensation for the mastectomy.

2.

If reconstructive surgery is begun within 3 years after a mastectomy, the amount of the compensation provided for that surgery must equal those amounts provided for in chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS at the time of the mastectomy. If the surgery is begun more than 3 years after the mastectomy, the compensation provided is subject to the requirements and conditions that apply at the time of the reconstructive surgery.

3.

For the purposes of this section, “reconstructive surgery” means a surgical procedure performed following a mastectomy on one breast or both breasts to re-establish symmetry between the two breasts. The term includes, but is not limited to, augmentation mammoplasty, reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy.
