Your treatment is considered an out-of-pocket cost. Some treatment facilities have chosen not have a specific type of contract with Paxman, which means they cannot bill patient insurance directly. After your treatment is complete, you can ask your insurance company if reimbursement is possible.

Your claim may or may not be successful. Health insurance coverage varies among individual health plans and may be dependent on policy coverage, location, and other factors stipulated by the health insurance provider. Depending upon health benefit design, each patient may be responsible for all of the scalp cooling cost.
