From 1st April 2013, the MDU membership benefits for members performing treatments with dermal fillers will change and they won’t be covered for dermal filler brands which don’t have an American FDA approval, despite dermal fillers in the UK being regulated by European CE Mark regulation. The MDU underwriters stated in a letter to members;
“While we carefully consider requests for help, it is unlikely that the MDU will provide support or representation for any claim arising in respect of a treatment or procedure carried out on or after 1st April 2013 which involves any dermal filler, unless the product is one which has been approved, prior to your use of it, by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States of America.”
