If so, have you experienced success? I am researching for possible treatment for my 10 year old. Topicals and phototherapy have been giving her anxiety and I'm trying to find alternative treatments for now.

What Can We Do Collectively To Reach Insurance Companies To Cover Vitiligo Treatment As Medical And Not Cosmetic. How Do We Act Collectively

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Paul, MN

I feel together we have a loud voice. So how do we make our voices heard to insurance companies. Do we lobby congress? I really would like to know how we make collective change to start getting medicine for Vitiligo coverages as medical and not cosmetic. Also because there will be other medication coming soon to treat the disease and they won’t be covered either.
I just feel like there are so many of us. How can we make a impact?

I have tried many things including Dermablend but Fake Bake by far works the best for me. I do have light skin tone however.
