Will my insurance plan cover treatment of my varicose veins and spider veins?
Vein reflux disease along with varicose veins and associated symptoms is a medical condition. Most insurance plans, Medicare, and IEHP recognize vein reflux disease as a legitimate, covered medical expense and will cover treatment for patients whose signs and symptoms are significant and after conservative management, including a trial of compression stockings, has failed. If you are experiencing any symptoms of vein disease it is worth finding out if your insurance provider will cover the cost of treatment. Our practice will complete a consultation and an in-Clinic venous ultrasound test. If you test positive for vein disease, Medicare and most insurance companies will cover the cost of the consultation, venous reflux test, and varicose vein treatments. However, as with many other medical treatments, some insurance companies have specific requirements that must be followed which we will work with you to develop.
