Most US HMO and PPO insurers will cover dermatologist visits and medications for acne, as it is a very real medical condition.





However, some types of treatments that are experimental, investigational, or non-proven in a scientific setting may be non-covered, and you may find yourself with expensive bills. Such treatments may be infrared or ultraviolet, or dermabrasion. Best to check with your insurer first, to see whether the treatment is covered for your diagnosis.
