Each Pro-Nox™ treatment requires a new, single-use disposable breathing circuit for patient safety, along with medical-grade oxygen and nitrous oxide. It is included with all CO2 laser treatments as part of the cost and is a $60 add-on for other procedures. Patients are responsible for payment on the date of service.

According to guidelines established by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, this method of nitrous oxide delivery qualifies as minimal sedation. Medicare and most insurance providers classify it as a non-covered comfort service. Because it is not medically necessary anesthesia, it is not covered by insurance.
