BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments for aesthetic enhancement are not covered by insurance. In some cases, medical insurance will pay for part or all of the costs of functional BOTOX® treatments if the condition to be treated is considered reconstructive, disabling or interferes significantly with the quality of your life. Common examples of this are:

  • Eyelid and facial spasm
  • Migraine headaches
  • Excessive sweating (known as hyperhidrosis)

You should check with your insurance carrier to find out your benefits before having the treatment. Some insurance plans may exclude BOTOX treatments from coverage.
