Will Insurance Cover Pulsed Dye Laser Treatments?

Unfortunately, stretch marks are considered a cosmetic condition and we do not know of any insurance provider that would cover this type of treatment. It is usually out of pocket.
We do think that your physician has made a good recommendation for your stretch marks and we hope it works out well for you.

Though your stretch marks developed as a result of your prednisone and treatment for an inflammatory condition, it is unlikely that your insurance will cover the cost of treating them.  Over the years, we have tried to ask for insurance coverage for treatments of  acne scars/ stretch marks/ keloid scars, etc and have not been successful.  

While stretch marks in general are very difficult to treat, the redness in stretch marks can respond to pulsed dye laser.  Multiple treatments are usually required.

Best,
