Does my insurance cover office visits and procedures for my varicose veins?

At Precision Vein Care, we offer full vein disease evaluations, ultrasound imaging, and office-based procedures. We provide the convenience of one stop shopping for vein care, which avoids the need to visit hospital-based ultrasound labs, wound care centers, avoids larger hospital operating room settings, and centralizes your care to one location for all aspects of your care.

It is a common misconception that vein disease is an entirely cosmetic issue, and as a result, treatments are an expensive out of pocket endeavor. This, however, is simply not true! 

While treatments for spider veins are considered cosmetic in nature for nearly all insurance providers, for anyone who suffers from symptoms of leg heaviness, easy fatigability, swelling, skin discoloration, even in the absence of visible varicose veins, you could have significant vein disease with treatments that are covered by insurance.

In addition, if you suffer from visible varicose veins with throbbing, aching pain, or itching at those areas, you very likely have significant vein disease with treatments that are covered by insurance.

Certain criteria exist that make one a candidate for a procedure based on clinical grounds, and our team at Precision Vein Care has the expertise to determine your best treatment options. For example, visible varicose veins that do not cause symptoms, probably don’t require treatment, but can typically still be treated with some modest out of pocket costs.

Our rates are competitive, and we also accept CareCredit to help assist with those costs. But, if you have symptoms as described above, you likely have significant vein disease with treatment available.

For insurance to authorize treatment, a patient must also satisfy certain insurance criteria for treatments to be considered medically necessary. The criteria that need to be demonstrated by the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and vein ultrasound anatomy required by the many insurance companies are quite sound medically speaking, and well understood by  Dr. Guzzo and his team.

We accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Multiplan, and all forms of Blue Cross/Blue Shield (Capital, Anthem, Highmark, Independence, etc).

We can expertly provide diagnosis and treatment options, as well as determine medical necessity and insurance eligibility. So, don’t wait, put Dr. Guzzo and his team to work for you. Get your vein evaluation today, and get on the pathway to having your legs look and feel great!
