Varicose and Spider Vein Treatment in Yuma

Many people are unaware that treatment for vein disease is covered by Insurance.

When performed for medical reasons, treatment for venous disease  is covered by most insurance companies. The first line of treatment is endovenous ablation, laser ablation or chemical ablation (VenaSeal). Second line treatment options include phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, Varithena as well as visible sclerotherapy. Dr. Paul Larson will create a plan that is specific for your vein condition and disease state.  Better treatment options equal better results.

A requirement of many insurance companies including Medicare and Medicaid is a conservative trial period. This consist of wearing support hose or support socks for a period of 6 to 12 weeks. In the Arizona heat this may be difficult, however the attempt to wear support hose is required to be documented in your medical record.

The symptoms of the venous disease include leg pain, leg swelling, itchy achy legs, restless leg syndrome, skin discoloration, stasis dermatitis, heaviness in the legs and swelling of the ankles. Many patients suffer from the venous disease but are not aware.
