I am interested in information anybody has regarding issues with their insurance carriers. So far I have not had a problem. I asked my PCP for a referral to a dermatologist. He talked to me about some treatment options and which ones my carrier would cover. But if we need to speak with a united voice since this is an experience that impacts the mental health of those with Vit.
