We got a bit behind in some interesting psoriasis news while we were finishing our video contest. We’ll work through the backlog in the next several days.
Last month, for example, PhotoMedex, the company that markets the XTRAC excimer laser for psoriasis (and vitiligo), announced several additional major insurance carriers will now reimburse XTRAC treatments. While millions of Americans have trouble accessing medical treatments because they lack health insurance, many psoriasis patients with insurance face unfair hurdles imposed by some insurers that limit coverage of some psoriasis treatments that have been proven effective. The XTRAC is one such treatment that has been blocked by some insurers. But as this news release notes, they have made great headway in getting insurers to cover these laser treatments for psoriasis.
What is the XTRAC laser? You can watch a company video on the XTRAC laser here, and we have a brief summary of the excimer laser here.
