Laser skin resurfacing--reimbursed if acne scars?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Usually not: Insurance typically will help with the management and control of acne infections, but do not often pay for the care of the scarring that results.

Not usually: Insurance typically considers this cosmetic.

Unlikely: Insurance companies typically do not reimburse for treatments that are cosmetic in nature. If there is a medically necessary reason for the treatment, insurance should reimburse for it.
