Can Your Insurance Cover Laser Skin/acne Resurfacing?

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.

Thank you for your question. Insurance coverage seems to cover less and less so my guess is unlikely.  But, call your insurance carrier, and inquire, a ND request preauthorization for coverage. I hope this helps.

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.  

Insurance typically doesn't cover laser skin/acne resurfacing, however if you have a health spending account, it may be used for that - best is to check with your plan.

   Insurance does not cover laser resurfacing.  If you have a health care savings account or flexible spending account this can sometimes be used.  Lana Long, M.D.
