Can Your Insurance Cover Laser Skin/acne Resurfacing?
So I want/need to get laser skin/acne resurfacing because i have highly moderate acne scars, rhinophyma (one side of my nose), and skin damage. Would my insurance (CIGNA), be able to help cover the costs involved in this laser treatment? If so, how much do they most likely pay?

Acne scars and insurance
Unfortunately, insurance companies don't cover the costs for any acne scar procedures including the cost of lasers. They do cover the treatment of acne. Check to see if a health savings account of flexible spending account can be applied towards the procedure as an alternate.

Insurance coverage for laser skin resurfacing
Your insurance company would make the determination of whether they would cover laser skin resurfacing for you or not. You would either need to contact your insurance carrier yourself or have a consultation with a physician and have them contact your insurance carrier for you.
