Will Insurance Cover Varicose Vein Treatment?

Varicose veins are bulging and twisted veins that typically appear on the legs and are often the result of damaged valves that allow the blood to travel in the wrong direction. If you are embarrassed by your bulging varicose veins or are tired of the uncomfortable symptoms they cause, you may be a good candidate for varicose vein treatment.

Dr. Craig Schwartz at Premier Vein & Body by Schwartz has performed over 12,000 vein treatment procedures helping patients eliminate their varicose veins, improve their health, and restore their confidence. Recently, some patients have asked us whether insurance will cover varicose vein treatment. Keep reading to find out.

When is Varicose Vein Treatment a Medical Necessity?

While many seek varicose vein treatment for cosmetic reasons, varicose veins are often a visible symptom of a deeper medical issue in your venous system called venous reflux. If your varicose veins lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain or heaviness, leg cramps, burning sensations, itching, ulcers, bleeding, and/or blood clots, your varicose vein treatment may be considered a medical necessity and covered by your insurance.

* Initial free vein screening will include a visual evaluation and subsequent discussion with Dr. Schwartz. However, if patient presents with symptoms of vein disease (not just spider veins), a diagnostic test, such as a venous ultrasound/duplex examination, that is considered medically necessary per the physician’s determination, will be billed as a separate charge, and $450 will be billed to your insurance provider. Pending your carrier’s response, you may be ultimately responsible for some portion or ALL of this charge, which may include deductibles, co-insurance and/or co-pays. If your insurance company denies this charge, your patient responsibility portion may be partially discounted if you proceed with vein disease treatment through our office.
