Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 I was wondering if those that had various laser procedures for their rosacea found that these treatments were or were not covered by their medical insurance. I realize everyone has different insurance vendors but I just wanted to get an idea/percentage of those that covered laser procedures and those that did not. Thanks for your help and feedback.

And it wasn't even approved for my Flex account (a fixed monthly amount you request the company to take out of your paycheck each month to be used to supplement monies the insurance didn't cover, or medical things the insurance won't cover - such as eyeglasses).

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 I had 6 photofacials at a cost of 2000. My insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO paid for 900. At first when I called to ask if it was covered, I was told no (by three different agents). When I sent in my claim anyway, I included before and after photos of myself (I had had two treatments at the time) and numerous articles on the effectiveness of the treatment. I was suprised that they approved my claim, just goes to show that you shouldn't give up trying too easily! Good luck! Perserverance pays off!
