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
