I Have Tried For 2 Years To Get My Insurance To Cover Opzelura With No Luck. Is There Anyway To Get It Covered?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grabill, IN

I have had vitiligo for approximately 8 years. I am 63. In 2020 I was doing xtrac and light therapy. It brought back about 80% of my pigment. Then covid shut it all down. I am worse now then I was then.

My Dr submitted to my insurance to get a large light unit for home use and my insurance covered it. Then the following year I tried to get Opzelura. My insurance company initially refused it but again the Drs office submitted some forms and then they covered it 100%. Previous Drs I saw never even tried or recommended a home unit. Make sure to see a Dr that will try this for you.

Insurance denied UV light for me. I did appeal to Incyte fir Opzelura and it was finally approved. You have to meet financial need and show W-2.

They asked me about the UV light, but I didn’t take it so they gave me a queen and the cream even doubt my skin all the way from head to toe. It was pretty expensive though.
