Financing & Insurance: General Information
At Evolve Medical Associates, we are pleased to announce that we are now accepting insurance. Please note that insurance will NOT cover cosmetic/aesthetic procedures or laser hair removal. Most insurances will pay for vein evaluations. If the vein evaluation shows the presence of reflux, then the care needed to treat this problem is generally covered as well. Insurance will not cover treatment of spider veins.
Other conditions that may be covered by insurance: acne, rosacea, hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm and/or hand sweating).
Many insurance companies do cover the cost of treating varicose veins, but generally not spider veins. The best approach is to check with your insurance company before considering a particular treatment option.
In order for varicose vein surgery to be covered by insurance:
1. Our physician needs to conduct a history and physical exam
as well as use ultrasound to document the presence of a vein problem.
2. The patient may be required to follow a conservative treatment plan and wear the compression stocking for several weeks or months.
3. Our physician must track all of the patient’s general health, medical history, symptoms and previous treatments tried to help prove the need for surgery and sclerotherapy treatments.
Most insurance companies do not pay for sclerotherapy or any other treatment if it is performed for cosmetic reasons. Some insurance companies do pay benefits if there is pain or discomfort that impedes activity. However, each insurance carrier is different and it is recommended that individuals check with their insurance carriers to determine if there is coverage. Each patient is given a complete evaluation summary of the proposed plan of treatment at their consultation. We will submit this information to the insurance carrier to see if benefits are available if the procedure is considered medically necessary.
