PDT is generally only covered by medical insurances when it is used to remove actinic keratosis, a type of pre-cancer of skin. We have not seen health insurance cover treatment for acne or acne scars, and cosmetic sun damage doesn’t meet their requirements for medical necessity.
That having been said, we do not accept insurance of any kind at our practice. This allows us to significantly lower our costs to do business, since we don’t need a whole team of medical billers, and that allows us to offer PDT at a lower price than most practices.
The pricing of your treatment will depend upon the type of light used and whether you purchase your treatments as a package or a la carte. Individual pricing is quoted during the free consultation with one of our cosmetic physicians. On average, PDT with Vbeam is $875 for the full face.
