I’m sure by now the amount of money you have spent trying potential cures for vitiligo may be close to $1000. Isn’t it time to see if you are eligible to get some help? Vitiligo treatments using the Photomedex XTRAC Excimer Laser are covered by some health insurance companies. Does yours? Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
1. Call your insurance provider and ask if they cover the XTRAC Excimer Laser treatments for patients diagnosed with vitiligo— tell them you have a diagnosis code, 709.01
2. Your doctor or dermatologist’s office will need to send a pre-determination letter to your insurance provider because you will need to prove that it is medically necesary.
3. If you don’t have a dermatologist, ask your insurance provider for the names of a few dermatologist in your area. Call each to find out if the provide XTRAC Excimer Laser, or you can go to the Photomedex website to do a search.
Best wishes,
