Causes of Varicose veins may not be insurable

December 23rd, 2007

Remember that health insurance companies prefer to ‘not pay’ for any procedure that they consider to be cosmetic. Are the causes of varicose veins cosmetic?

And, in some instances, it may be that your varicose vein treatment will not qualify under your health insurance company’s plan.

Make sure that you get a comprehensive evaluation and report from the doctor regarding the type of varicose veins you have, the problems you are experiencing, and the type of medical intervention that he is recommending. This will be a starting place for you when it comes to dealing with your health insurance company.

Start by talking to your doctor to determine the cost of the varicose vein treatment, and then contact your health insurance company. They will have many questions about the medical procedure and why you need it. They will want to know if it is purely cosmetic procedure. Or is it vital to your health and well-being?
