Is laser therapy covered by insurance?

This is a question nearly every patient asks - does my insurance cover laser therapy? Well, the answer may be a bit complicated, but at Montana Laser and Medical Center the short version is mostly "yes!"

Does my insurance cover laser therapy?

The biggest factor here is which plan you have.

Insurance type

• Medicare - Medicare will typically cover this service at Montana Laser

• Medicare replacement plans - will typically cover medical laser therapy at Montana Laser

• Medicaid - Medicaid does not participate with us at all

• Private Insurance - most plans will reimburse varying amounts

• Personal Injury/Auto Accidents - laser therapy is usually always covered in our clinic

• Worker's Compensation - every case is different. We will be happy to speak with you about your case at no charge.

We have spent years aggressively lobbying and appealing to insurance companies in order to be one of the few laser centers in the nation who can accept most insurance plans. We did this for the sole purpose of improving patient access to this life-changing modality, and it was worth it! While it is definitely more difficult and less profitable to bill insurances, it has allowed many more patients to enjoy the benefits of laser therapy than would otherwise be able to.

Do you want to use your insurance?

It may sound odd, but this is the next question we ask many patients. For some patients, you may wonder if it's even worth billing your insurance for laser therapy. Between larger and larger copays, visit limits, difficult pre-authorizations, growing deductibles, and seemingly arbitrary payment determinations, there may be a lot of drawbacks. Of course, this might still be worth it depending on your situation and your plan. We will perform an insurance verification for every patient we see. That means we'll be able to tell you what your insurance has told us they will cover.

We'll do the work for you!
