Many patients are reluctant to go see a Vein Specialist because of the fear of cost. Depending on the severity of your venous insufficiency your treatment, so long as not considered simply cosmetic will likely be covered.
While it’s true that spider veins generally are not covered, varicose veins are generally considered a medical necessity.
If the veins on your legs have enlarged bulging veins that appear purplish or blue in color and your legs feel heavy, painful, itchy, or swollen it is guaranteed that you are experiencing venous insufficiency.
There is no need to live in pain. Treatments for varicose veins have advanced throughout the years and are now outpatient procedures that generally take about an hour or so (though multiple sessions may be needed in certain cases).
To begin the process give us a call and set up an appointment for a vein screening. An ultrasound of the veins can be done in the office to show which veins have become defective, to demonstrate medical necessity and to plan treatment. All insurance plans require a venous ultrasound before they will approve treatment of varicose veins. Vein treatments can then be scheduled.
If you have further questions or are experiencing symptoms that you would like to have addressed, we invite you to give us a call today at 727-712-3233 and Let The West Florida Vein Center Vein Specialists help. Call for a consultation. www.westfloridaveincenter.com
