Background: This study assessed the financial implications of providing all forms of breast reconstruction at a single academic institution with insurance as the primary mode of reimbursement. Methods: Billing records of 152 patients who underwent postmastectomy breast reconstruction offered at the University of Michigan for the 2012 fiscal year were reviewed. Professional and facility revenue, cost, and earnings for the first stage of reconstruction were calculated by applying actual collections and charges. Similar financial data were compiled for a subset of 49 patients who went on to complete reconstruction. Results: The professional revenue and expenses allocated to breast reconstruction were

The facility also did better fiscally after the first stage of abdominally based reconstruction compared with implant reconstructions (10 percent versus −10.4 percent margin). Conclusions: Postmastectomy breast reconstruction for this academic surgical practice remains fiscally profitable. Implant-based reconstruction compared with abdominal flap reconstruction produces greater revenue per operative hour but ultimately generates less total revenue and results in financial losses for the facility. Abdominally based perforator flap reconstruction reimbursed through standard insurance plans can be financially advantageous for the academic surgical practice and health care system.
