Understand the Cost of Phototherapy Treatment

Access to Phototherapy Treatment Made Easier

At Phothera, we believe cost shouldn’t stand in the way of treatment. That’s why we created Phothera Cares—a support program designed to make narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy for chronic skin conditions more accessible and affordable.

Over 80% of Phothera home phototherapy devices are covered by insurance plans for vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).1

What is Phothera Cares?

From mitigating costly out-of-pocket expenses, education, or navigating insurance denials, the Phothera Cares patient support program ensures every patient has a path forward to the care they deserve.
