After PCOS Diagnosis, Will My Insurance Company Cover Laser Hair Removal?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Radford, VA

Since being diagnosed with PCOS, I have experienced excessive facial hair under and around my chin/neck area. I have to shave every day and sometimes 2x in a day. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on this??
