Does medicare cover laser surgery for severe skin problems due to chemical burn home related?
Jackie T asked:
I am 29 now. When I was younger I had an accident with an at home product that burned my skin and made it continuously react badly. I have acne like skin problems. It stays sore, burning feeling, and I have never had the money to pay for laser surgery to fix it. It covers my entire arm..both of them and my chest. I was told that a very simple laser/acne treatment would probably clear it up and that a laser hair removal treatment would take care of the damaging effects of the chemical burn also. I have looked into places that accreditted to find the one that is the cheapest without compromising the quality of services and professionalism. Perfumes Plus in St. John, N.B. is close to where i live at the moment, but the acne treatment alone for one treatment is $80 dollars orset of six for $450. The laser treatment alone is minimum of $2990. I am wondering if medicare covers this type of skin problem due to chemical burn. Something must be done because this problem is painful.

i’m not even sure if laser treatment would help. i think your skin would probably react badly. just go into the centre and ask to see a nurse who will talk you through your options. medicare probably won’t cover illnesses that happened prior to the cover having been taken out. maraesa1000
