Patients in the Dallas and Plano, Texas area interested in undergoing cosmetic procedures are often concerned about the cost of their treatment. At DSA Dermatology, our staff works with individuals to make treatments attainable for most budgets. The front office staff is knowledgeable in working with health insurance plans and applying coverage. However, it is important for patients to know what their insurance plan will cover in terms of esthetic procedures.
Are cosmetic procedures covered by health insurance?
In most cases, health insurance plans will not cover elective procedures. Procedures that are performed strictly for cosmetic purposes are not usually covered by most insurance companies. However, if services are being performed for the treatment of a medical condition, coverage may apply. For instance, patients interested in a chemical peel can use them to address conditions such as rosacea or acne. In this case, coverage may apply. Individuals using chemical peels strictly for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles or poor texture and tone may not be able to apply health insurance benefits. Our staff is well-versed in handling insurance plans and can walk patients through the process.
What procedures may be covered by health insurance?
Procedures that are performed for the treatment of the following medical conditions may quality for coverage through many insurance plans:
- Rosacea
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
- Acne
- Skin cancer
