Welcome to
LUNA
We are a small non-profit put together to support research, education, advocacy, and resources for women’s under-recognized health issues. LUNA is operating for charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.
Dr. Jen's Welcome Message
Our first ever campaign kicks off with a Cross Country Bike ride in March of 2026. It will be completed by Dr. Jen Milus, the original founder. Beyond Administrative costs, all proceeds go to a scholarship fund where women can apply to get funding for meds, surgeries, and counseling associated with their health issues. The 3 major areas we will cover are: Breast Implant Illness, Osteoporosis and Rape Crisis. Other applications will be considered.
Thank you for your support!
Dr. Jen
Our Organization
Jennifer N. Milus, DC
Chairperson
Dr. Jen is the founder and creator of LUNA. Her experience in the healthcare field for over 30 years, and as a patient, showed her that many women’s health issues are underfunded and underserved. Many women are treated dismissively rather than taken seriously regarding their issues. She has turned her efforts to raising money to help.
Kirstin Litz
Vice Chair
Kirstin has been involved in many nonprofits over the years, including HERS Breast Cancer Foundation and others. She is helping in all aspects of development and growth of LUNA.
Susan Wright
Treasurer
Susan is a 3-time alumna of Johns Hopkins University. She spent 25 years as Nurse Administrator and non-teaching faculty at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She was a co-founder of The National Society of Hemapheresis Specialists and worked closely with the American Association of Blood Banks. She was published several times during her career. She is now instrumental in another nonprofit: Chestertown River Arts. Susan is helping us out to make sure all the bills get paid, and that we file our taxes correctly and on time. She will use our accountant, Suzanne Eikel, CPA, for all official filings, etc.
Events
Cross Country Fundraising Bicycle Ride
March 3rd thru April 30th, 2026
For our first event, Dr. Jen will be riding across the USA to raise money and awareness for the poor quality of care and the poor level of insurance coverage for women’s health conditions. As a result of our fundraising, we have established a scholarship fund to help women with surgical care, counseling, medications, etc. The 3 main areas of concentration are: BII (Breast Implant Illness), Osteoporosis, Rape Counseling, etc. Scholarships will be divided based on the donor's request, when possible. People with other illnesses are welcome to apply. Preference will be given to health issues that purely affect women.
Jen will be joining Woman Tours, Inc. in Spring 2026. It starts in San Diego, California on March 3rd and ends in St., Augustine, Florida on April 30th. You can read more about Woman Tours at www.womantours.com.
Daily "fireside chats" from 7-7:30 pm (local time for the location shown on the location window) will be posted on Dr. Jen's Wellness Hub on Facebook, and also on Dr. Jen's personal Facebook page. Please watch and share to help us spread the word and help others. These broadcasts will include all of the information from her Bone Health Strategies Workshops, alternating with the other areas of interest in women's health. These Facebook lives will be available on Facebook for 30 days following the original broadcasts.
In the future, rides can take place in any of Woman Tours' Schedule anywhere on the Planet. So, check out their website while you are there!

BII / Explant Forms
Please feel free to download these generic templates you can fill out and submit to your insurance company to claim coverage for your care.
About Explant / BII Forms
Most insurance companies don’t want to cover explant surgery because they say it’s cosmetic. This is most often not true. Most people would not go through this kind of pain if they weren't actually sick. Since 2021, they have a Black Box Warning on them. This is because they are not safe. There are dozens of health implications and symptoms associated with your body's reaction to implants. These have been reported: Swelling, redness, pain, headaches, high blood pressure, body-wide inflammation, body-wide joint pain, chest and rib pain, shortness of breath, hormonal changes, lab findings, osteoporosis, and anxiety. Simply put: not enough research has been done.
The forms below should be thoroughly filled out when applying for coverage of explant surgery. Include any and all symptoms that started after your surgery, even if you don't think they are related. If this doesn’t work, your state’s attorney can be contacted. They can help you navigate your insurance company's guidelines to get them to pay.
Complete the forms below, have your physician(s) sign them, then send copies to your insurance company’s review department. There should be an address on your insurance card. Include all labs, special studies, reports, and letters from your doctors.
Application for Insurance Coverage
Your insurance company needs the proper information, documentation and Diagnosis (ICD-10) Codes. They need to know that this is not cosmetic. Fill this out to send to them.. You may need to include doctor's records, MRI and Mammogram reports, etc.
Letter of Medical Necessity (Surgeon)
Download, print, and fill out. Then have your surgeon sign.
Letter of Medical Necessity (GP, NP)
Download, print, and fill out. Then have your GP, and any other doctor or Nurse Practitioner you have seen regarding your needs sign.
ICD-10 Codes Associated with Breast Implant Illness
Refer to this document to help identify any diagnosis codes your doctor has indicated on your records, or for anything that you have noticed that has changed in your health since you got your implants. Be sure to include as many codes as are applicable to your situation when you complete your Application for Insurance Coverage form (see above).
