[2011-09-08 18:46:02 - bk from Mainline]: I would like to know if Scars Removal Treatments are covered by United Health Care Ins., I am really interesting in this, I need to get rid of a scar that I have and got the feeling that this is the right place for me, please can somebody let me know as soon as possible.

[2011-09-08 18:47:41 - Dr. Ringpfeil]: Scar treatment is generally not a covered service. However most insurances will make an exception and cover scar revision if a previous skin cancer surgery caused a disfiguring scar. Also, most insurances cover the treatment of a keloid, which is a special type of scar that usually continues to grow and causes symptoms.
