Oh I don't know about that amiee. But I do have clients that the derms told them to use a tanning unit in low doses for the condition. As I said before, I have several.

Insurance is very funny about this Amiee........
Depending on the past record of the disorder, and depending on the Insurance the person could be covered.
A doctor can indeed state that the person needs it...but you know how Insurance can be.

If you have psoriasis and are trying to get insurance/ tanning bed paid for through insurance, forget about it. There is no WAY this yould be considered medically nessissary.

Rep Power: 23 JOHN @ URI has a spectacular aura about JOHN @ URI has a spectacular aura about
National Biological Corp, They are located in Twinsburg, Oh.

They have been providing Home phototherapy units for skin disorders for years.
(from thier site)
Insurance Reimbursement

When used to treat skin disorders, most insurance companies will cover a home phototherapy unit. Although every insurance plan is different and coverage varies, it usually is an eligible expense.

If you have already contacted your insurance company and have been denied coverage or you're getting "nowhere fast," a National Biological Corporation representative can help. We will assist you with the proper coding and provide the information necessary to receive the benefits your insurance policy allows. National Biological Corporation has considerable experience in obtaining coverage for our customers; in fact, over 90% of our customers receive coverage for their purchases.

Other companies like Avex Industries & Daavlin also manufacture tanning units for this use.
