Does insurance cover dermatologist costs?

Both statutory and private insurance cover medically necessary examinations and treatment. Statutory insurance usually does not cover cosmetic procedures.

With private health insurance, dermatologist visits are covered. You can also go and pay yourself.

With statutory insurance, you usually pay for cosmetic procedures yourself. Before you go, ask the practice and your insurer whether your treatment counts as medically necessary.
