Insurance Coverage
Major Plans Cover Most EVLT® Treatments
Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, provide coverage for Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT®) when
the procedure is determined to be a medical necessity. To qualify, patients must demonstrate symptoms of venous reflux disease,
including pain, swelling, cramping, ulcers or bleeding. A period of conservative varicose vein therapy may be required prior
to EVLT® laser therapy, such as a 3- to 6-month trial using compression hose. If symptoms persist, most
insurance carriers will cover the EVLT® procedure.
The medical office staff at Hedden Plastic Surgery is happy to assist
you with obtaining insurance coverage for EVLT® treatment for venous reflux disease. We make the process as simple as
possible by carefully reviewing all insurance forms and submitting your claim for payment.
Coverage for EVLT® is subject to the terms of your individual policy, including any applicable co-payments and
deductibles. Please call your insurance carrier if you have any questions about coverage of EVLT® under your medical insurance plan.
