Scar Treatment: Insurance Coverage is a Sometime Thing

Does Insurance Coverage Apply to Scar Treatments?

• If your scar causes physical difficulty you may be able to get insurance to pay for scar treatment.
• Insurance companies routinely deny coverage for plastic surgery scars or complications from plastic surgery.

How to Get Insurance Approval

• Ask your doctor to write a letter detailing your particular case, such as if you are a burn victim.
• Ask you doctor to take photos to help prove your case.

The overwhelming lack of insurance coverage for scar treatment makes silicone-based scar products one of the few affordable options.  Silicone has been proven to promote healing and reduce scar size and color.
