Is botox for bells palsy cosmetic or medical?

Botox can sometimes be covered if done by a neruologist and there is prior approval.  Typically in my practice my patients pay and try to get reimbursed after the fact because they dont want to wait so long for approval (if it ever happens).  Best, Dr. Emer.

I think your question is whether insurance will cover the Botox treatment? In some cases, they will but this requires pre-authorization through your insurance company. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
