Will Medicaid cover Botox?

Question

I have tortacile on my left side of my neck does botox help it . What is good for it

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, it is unlikely that Medicaid will cover Botox. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Judith F. Rubin, MD · Answer

Botox and Xeomin are both indicated for Torticollis. I would suggest seeing a neurologist who should be able to write a prior authorization for treatment. Since  this is a medical necessity I would expect it to be covered under your insurance plan. It is important that you are treated by a physician with experience in the treatment of Torticollis and is familiar with the large doses and the placement of botulinum toxin in the neck muscles.
