About Us

Co-founder Dr. Elisabeth Potter

We were founded to protect patient access to reconstruction

Founded in 2022 by reconstructive surgeons as a response to CMS's decision to sunset s-codes (specific codes that reimburse for advanced autologous reconstruction), CBRA recognizes that there are many barriers to reconstruction options for patients despite the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act. 


As a 501(c)(6) we are uniquely positioned to primarily engage in political and lobbying activities that can help shape the health landscape for breast cancer patients and improve access to all reconstruction options. 

A strong woman who is armed with information on breast reconstruction options and accessibility

Know Better. Do Better.

We are building a future where all breast reconstruction options are available through insurance in all communities and patients benefit from better long-term outcomes. 


We empower patients to receive the best options for them through personal choice and informed clinical decision making. We support the work of providers who deliver excellent care to people affected by breast cancer. We acknowledge that healthy economic dynamics are essential to maintaining a healthy reconstructive environment.
