How do I contact BRAVE Coalition?
The best way to reach us is through the contact form at bravecoalition.org/contact-us. You can also follow and message us on Facebook (facebook.com/BraveCoalition.org), Instagram (@bravecoalition), and LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/bravecoalitionorg).
Does BRAVE provide one-on-one patient navigation?
Yes – reach out through our contact form and we can connect you with peers who have walked a similar reconstruction journey. Peer connection is one of the most powerful resources we offer.
Can BRAVE help me appeal an insurance denial?
Yes – reach out through our contact form and we can share guidance and resources tailored to your situation. BRAVE provides educational support, not legal representation; for complex denials we may also point you toward patient advocates or healthcare attorneys.
Does BRAVE recommend specific surgeons or hospitals?
BRAVE does not endorse individual providers. We encourage patients to seek board-certified plastic surgeons experienced in post-mastectomy reconstruction, ask about case volume for the specific procedure (e.g., DIEP flap), and request before/after photos and patient references.
How can I share my story or join the community? (Coming Soon)
A dedicated story-sharing and community space is coming soon. In the meantime, visit bravecoalition.org/community and reach out via the contact form if you’d like to share your story or be notified when this launches.

Who do I contact in a medical emergency or urgent billing dispute?
