Reading Time: <1 minuteMole removal is eligible for medical expense deduction. Some moles on the body and face are covered by insurance. In principle, all moles are covered by insurance if a tissue test is performed to confirm the disease through pathological diagnosis. Moles are a common name, and in a broad sense, they include the form of skin tumors. The same goes for warts. Generally, moles are pigmented nevi or nevus cell nevi, and warts refer to a viral disease called verruca vulgaris. There is also senile warts, which are warts caused by old age. A specialist's diagnosis is not just visual inspection, but also using a diagnostic device called a dermascope to confirm whether the mole is benign or malignant, and then the removal method and progress are considered and explained to the patient. If malignancy is suspected, the mole is generally removed by biopsy or excision and pathological diagnosis is made. In this case, the cost of the excision surgery and the cost of the pathological diagnosis are all eligible for insurance and medical expense deduction. Moles on the body are generally not for cosmetic purposes, but are the removal of benign tumors as a disease, so they are covered by insurance and are eligible for medical expense deduction. (Removal of large moles may not be covered by insurance as they are for cosmetic purposes.) We will provide you with an estimate, so please feel free to consult us. If complete removal by excision method is not possible, moles and warts may recur. The possibility of this is about 30%. In particular, moles that are not raised and have a dark pigmentation have a high possibility of recurrence because the pigment is located deep in the dermis. At our clinic, we carefully examine and diagnose each mole before removing it. This is the treatment method that is thought to leave the least amount of scarring, and the director, a cosmetic surgeon, carefully removes and cares for the mole. Case photos taken just before and after removal We find precancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma in many cases every year. Many of our patients have been diagnosed with moles at other medical institutions, and if we have even the slightest suspicion, we always perform a pathology test. Of course, all examination and treatment costs are covered by insurance and are eligible for medical expense deductions. *please note. We have received a sharp increase in enquiries from patients who have been left with unsightly burn scars after undergoing unlimited mole and wart treatment. It is highly unlikely that a skilled specialist would perform all-you-can-remove mole or wart treatment. Please be careful of medical institutions that advertise and promote rough treatments that simply use carbon dioxide lasers as all-you-can-remove mole treatments to attract customers. If a specialist does not carefully remove each mole one by one using the best treatment method according to the condition of the mole, it is not uncommon to be left with an ugly scar. A cosmetic surgeon with the skills, experience, track record, and ethics would never perform all-you-can-remove and leave it unfinished. Among the clinics that attract customers by advertising cheap mole removal, there are cosmetic surgery clinics where unqualified people examine and diagnose, upsell, and demand exorbitant treatment fees. There are also cases where many patients have been victimized by having inexperienced part-time doctors perform all-you-can-remove mole treatments. We would be happy if you could decide whether or not to receive treatment based on not only the price, but also the treatment method, track record, whether they specialize in mole removal, the doctor's experience and whether they are working part-time, whether or not they have a specialist qualification, guarantees, issuance of receipts for medical expense deductions, detailed explanations of the doctor, whether or not they are an insurance medical institution that also provides insurance treatment, and thorough care.
