Treatment of symptomatic varicose veins is typically covered by most insurers. Please contact your insurance company to determine your coverage. Treatment for spider veins is considered a cosmetic procedure by insurance companies; therefore, it is not covered by insurance. Once our doctors have had the opportunity to examine your veins, they can tell you what they would expect the cost of treatment to be.  more

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.
