Lower leg pigmented scars are extremely difficult, if not impossible to remove, even with laser therapy.  Because the scars do not cause functional problems, it is unlikely that insurance will cover this.  However, it may be worth a try a pre-authorization. Seek a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist for a consultation.
