In the United States, the treatment of large leg varicose veins, such as the saphenous veins, is usually covered by most insurance plans once Ultrasound Duplex imaging establishes that treatment is medically necessary. In these cases, insurance companies often pay regardless of the procedure chosen; surgical or endovenous ablation. As for the treatment of smaller facial and leg varicose veins, insurance companies are usually unwilling to pay arguing that patients seek their treatment for cosmetic reasons.
