• Are all vein treatments covered by insurance in New York?

  Our vein clinics in New York accept over 200 insurance plans, and we work with providers directly to ensure our patients receive the best possible coverage their plans can offer. There is a common misconception that varicose veins, because they are often visible, are merely a cosmetic issue. Due to the progressive nature of vein disease, varicose vein treatment is considered a medical concern, and as such is often covered by insurance! In fact, 97% of our varicose vein treatments are covered, and we’re happy to discuss your coverage option with both you and your insurance representatives. However, because spider veins do not negatively impact physical health, and are considered a cosmetic concern by providers, spider vein treatment is not often covered by insurance.

Our scheduling team will answer all your questions about insurance coverage, appointment availability, and where to find us. Our New York vein specialists are here to help you, every step of the way.

• What should I expect at my first visit with a New York vein specialist?

  During your first visit with one of our vein doctors, you’ll undergo a physical examination and spend some time talking about your medical history and current symptoms. Be sure to tell your vein specialist about any leg swelling, pain, heaviness, tingling, or fatigue you have experienced, as these are important symptoms that may be related to your veins not pumping blood properly.

  During the physical exam, your doctor will examine your legs and any veins causing issues. They may also recommend an ultrasound scan to gain a better understanding of the condition of your veins under the surface. It’s recommended to stay hydrated before your exam and limit caffeine in order to get the most accurate ultrasound results. After reviewing all the information gathered during the ultrasound, your doctor will recommend the vein treatment options that they believe is best for you. If you choose to move forward with treatment, our team will handle all aspects of submitting your information for insurance approval and schedule your treatment session in a few weeks.
