Insurance and Reimbursement

If you treat hyperhidrosis you know that excessive sweating is serious - and that hyperhidrosis significantly impacts daily life. As a serious medical condition with substantial negative effects on physical, emotional, and social well-being, hyperhidrosis deserves to be treated seriously by health insurance organizations.

The resources listed below provide information, downloadable forms, and support networks to help you work with your patients, their health insurance plans, and even their employer to get the reimbursement you deserve for the vital treatments you provide.

  • Hyperhidrosis Health Plan Policies
    Your patients' insurance policy may already cover hyperhidrosis treatments. Use this list of popular links to US public hyperhidrosis coverage policies to find out. If you don't see the policy you are researching, see if you can send us the link so we can post it for others.
  • Letter of Medical Necessity 
    Add proof to the case, download this sample Letter of Medical Necessity and submit it to the insurance company as proof that your hyperhidrosis needs treatment.
  • Hyperhidrosis Preauthorization Request Form
    Similar to the Letter of Medical Necessity, this form should be completed by treating physicians and submitted to the patients' insurance company. It demonstrates that the patient has been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, lists the treatments that he or she has tried (and that have been unsuccessful), and states the treatment that you are recommending.
