Yes, pulse dye laser treatment for port wine stain on the face or neck is an insured service in Ontario. Removal of port wine stains from other parts of the body may be an insured service, but requires prior ministry approval first. Your physician should be able to provide information regarding where this service is performed in Ontario and can apply to the ministry for prior approval of removal of port wine stain from areas of the body other than the face or neck.
