Will Insurance Cover a person's Botox Injections?

Quite simply, No.  Insurance companies are not dumb.  Gone are the days they they cover procedures without asking.  Take rhinoplasty for example.  Patients still come in thinking that the insurance company is going to pay for their cosmetic rhinoplasty.  Likewise, they are  not going to pay for your Botox.  So, my suggesting is to not waste your time with the issue.  Good luck.

Unfortunately, insurance company consider Botox as cosmetic treatment just like facelift. However, certain conditions that can be treated with Botox may be covered by health insurance. Conditions such as migraine headaches and excess sweating (hyperhidrosis) may be covered. Check your health insurance policy.

Most insurance companies would not cover a cosmetic procedure. Hence most common botox indications would not be covered by your insurance company. There are some medical indications such as debilitating hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating), and with your neurologist (migraine, and other headaches) whose treatments may be covered by an insurance company. It is important to run clarify with your insurance company what they would be willing to cover with regards to botox use before embarking on treatments which could be very costly. For instance, you would require 100-150 units or more of botox per patient for the treatment of armpit sweating. This is repeated every 6 months as needed. Insurance companiesd would generally resists paying for this. It is best for you and your doctor to know what the insurance company requirements are for specific botox therapies so as to determine if you meet the criteria for coverage or not, before actual treatment commences.
