Botox, a popular non-surgical treatment for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, costs between ₹400 and ₹600 per unit in India. However, most health insurance policies do not cover cosmetic procedures unless they are medically necessary. According to Siddharth Singhal, Head of Health Insurance at Policybazaar, aesthetic treatments are excluded under standard policies unless they relate to medical conditions, such as reconstruction after trauma or cancer-related procedures. Patients should be aware that procedures solely for enhancement, like wrinkle reduction, are not reimbursed. It's crucial for individuals considering Botox to understand their insurance terms and be prepared for potential out-of-pocket costs. Always consult with a qualified medical professional for personalized advice.
