With your permission, a brief report will be sent to your referring or primary care doctor as a courtesy. However, our service doesn't stop there. After the doctor's evaluation, one of our knowledgeable staff members will provide you with your own photocopy of the written estimate, and clarify any issues you may need more information on. For those who schedule an appointment to begin treatment, an information sheet providing details and instructions specific to the type of treatment planned is given so you will know what to expect. We are not a Medi-care provider.
Payment is due at the time each service is rendered.
A detailed, properly coded statement of fees is provided for each visit, which you can send to your insurance company to obtain reimbursement. Insurance usually covers treatment when it is done for medical reasons, and not for cosmetic improvement. Only the above thorough consultation procedure can document the existence of medical necessity, which usually means that symptoms and examination findings attributable to vein disease are present. VCOC does not falsify codes or exaggerate findings in order to help obtain reimbursement. However, when medical necessity does in fact exist, you will be provided with a written consultation summary before you leave which documents the need for treatment in your case.
