Does medicare cover the costs of dermabrasion and laser treatment following mohs for basel cell infiltrative cancer?

Medicare and most insurances consider these treatments to be "cosmetic" in nature as opposed to reconstructive. I am not aware of any insurances that I contract with that have considered resurfacing to be a covered benefit recently. In most cases, scar resurfacing is offered for a reduced fee following reconstruction. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

As of late insurance will not cover 'cosmetic' treatments unless it is related to breast cancer. Unfortunately you would be self-pay for these treatments should you decide to go forward. Thank you for your question!Kate Ross, MD

No, there are no medical insurances that will cover a revision for a scar that comes from a medical procedure to remove cancer. The cancer procedure itself will be covered, but a 'cosmetic' procedure for scarring afterwards is never covered. "This
