You need to fill a few forms at the time of your appointment:

Since 1974 Congress approved Insurance companies to be billed for the Reconstructive procedure of an Areola Tattoo, according to the amendment stated on the following link, independent Paramedical Tattoo artists can help with this process too, and reads as follows.

 (4) INCLUDING CERTAIN TATTOO ARTISTS AS MEDICARE PROVIDERS FOR PURPOSES OF TATTOOING OF THE NIPPLE–AREOLAR COMPLEX AFTER MASTECTOMY.—Section 1866(j)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395cc(j)(1)) is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

“(D) INCLUDING CERTAIN TATTOO ARTISTS FOR PURPOSES OF TATTOOING OF THE NIPPLE–AREOLAR COMPLEX AFTER MASTECTOMY.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘supplier’ shall include a State-licensed tattoo artist (as defined in section 1834(x)), but only with respect to the tattooing of the nipple-areolar complex pursuant to or as part of reconstructive surgery following a medically necessary mastectomy and if such tattooing is prescribed by a physician.”.
