The cost of intralesional verapamil treatment may vary from about $35 to $100 or more per session. If you are undergoing 8 sessions at a medical facility in an expensive city it may cost around $800 or more.
Your health insurance may partially or fully cover the cost. Verify your coverage with your insurance provider before scheduling a treatment.
The total cost depends on the:
- Scar size: In general, the larger the scar(s), the more treatment sessions will be required. Most doctors charge per session, so more sessions will mean substantially higher costs.
- Response of scar(s) to treatment: Depending on how much improvement occurs after each treatment session, the doctor will decide how many sessions are necessary. Most patients need 4-8 sessions to obtain desired results. Each additional session increases the total cost of treatment.
- Geographic location of medical facility: Intralesional verapamil treatment is more expensive in some cities and countries than in others.
- Physician’s experience: Doctors who have more experience may charge a higher fee.
