Most vein treatments are considered “cosmetic”, and therefore, are not covered by insurance.

Treatment of more severe venous disorders may be covered by some insurers, if certain criteria are met, and “medical necessity” has been established. The presence of disabling symptoms and documented abnormalities on non-invasive venous testing are two primary criteria. Each insurer has their own coverage rules.

Many insurers are now covering the endovenous laser ablation of the saphenous vein, in appropriate patients, as an acceptable alternative to surgical “vein stripping”. Please check with your insurance carrier for specific coverage policies.
