Will Insurance Cover Botox for Hyperhidrosis?

Insurance typically will not pay for underarm sweating treatments with botox.  Most experienced injectors offer a "volume" discount for hyperhidrosis so that the injection fees are not outrageous.  Typical costs for underarms can be as little as $500 for a session.

Each insurance is different.  You can have your doctor submit for approval... but miradry is better and permanent.Our office specializes in Miraday. Miradry just got FDA clearance for elimination of all hair colors under the arm. It also has clearance for the elimination of underarm sweating and odor. Much cheaper than botox and permanent.

It really depends on your insurance company whether Botox can be covered to treat hyperhidrosis. The number of units depends on the extent of treatment desired, therefore it would be difficult to say how much it would be for you.

Hyperhidrosis treatments can sometimes be covered by insurance, but insurance carriers vary by state and by policy.  The Miradry procedure is an amazing addition to treatments as it can provide longlasting control of underam sweating. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Botox is indeed very expensive and needs to be repeated.

For underarm hyperhidrosis, laser treatment is very effective. We currently use the SmartLipo Triplex to ablate the axillary sweat glands.  This is a one time treatment.  We have not tried to get insurance coverage, but the cost out of pocket is currently around 3,000.
