most insurance companies will not cover it for that purpose in TTM. you should definitely contact them, and also try to get your doctor to write a letter of appeal, youll be surprised how many letters get accepted with a well worded letter. we are constantly trying to get allergan to help get latisse approved for hypotrichosis in ttm, so far it is only approved for cosmetic purposes and not therapeutic purposes like yours. hope this answer helps in some way. best Abdulla Fakhro MD MRCS
You’ll want to contact your insurance company directly. Usually they do not.

There is no evidence that Latisse thins the skin around the eyes. On the contrary, Latisse has been shown to shrink the fat pads around the eyes when used regularly and to decrease aging around the eyes, even when it is used solely on the eye lashes. Latisse will make the skin around the e...
Latisse and Lumigan have the same active ingredient but are not the same. Lumigan contains bimatoprost at a concentration of 0.01 % and is meant as an eye drop to be placed in the eye. Latisse contains bimatoprost at three times the concentration - at 0.03 % and comes with brushes designed for...
Many treatments could help but the fundamental reason this occured should be explored in greater detail with a physician. Cutting the lashes is not the reason for growth differences one year out. Ideally a formal consultation could prove helpful.
