Cosmetic Removal of Benign Lesions
A benign lesion is a spot or growth which in the physician’s opinion is not cancerous or pre-cancerous and for which there is no medical reason to treat. Insurance companies will pay for the evaluation of these lesions but will not pay for their removal. Lesions which may fall into this category include certain moles, brown spots (so called “liver” or “age” spots), angiomas (blood vessel moles and “broken” blood vessels), seborrheic keratoses (warty moles), skin tags (small flaps of skin found around eyelids, neck, under arms, under breasts, and in groin), and milia (persistent whiteheads) on face and eyelids. If you have a benign growth which you would like to have removed, you must sign a “waiver of liability” agreeing to be personally and financially responsible and payment is expected at the time of treatment.
