Varicose veins are a recognized medical condition, not simply a cosmetic concern. In more advanced cases, they can lead to chronic limb swelling, permanent skin damage, and open wounds. Unfortunately, many people never seek treatment because they mistakenly assume their care won’t be covered by insurance.
In many cases, procedures to treat the symptoms of varicose veins and venous insufficiency are considered medically necessary, and most health insurance plans cover this type of care. Procedures performed for purely cosmetic reasons are typically not covered. These are general guidelines, and every patient’s case is different, which is why our clinical and administrative staff works directly with your insurance company on your behalf. Our team will contact your insurer, provide all necessary documentation, confirm whether your care will be covered, and obtain pre-certification if required, informing you of your coverage before any treatment begins.
We participate with most major health insurance networks. If your plan is one of the few we don’t participate with, we’re glad to see you on an out-of-network basis. Many plans still provide benefits for out-of-network care, and our staff will help you navigate that process.
