How Much Will It Cost to Remove Spider Veins and Varicose Veins?

Are you looking to get rid of your spider veins or varicose veins? Or are you wondering what the average treatment cost for removing spider veins is? Varicose veins often appear on the feet and legs and can make patients feel uncomfortable and conscious about their legs.

Let’s take a closer look at the costs of removing your spider veins.

Cost for Vein Treatment

The treatment cost for varicose veins and spider veins depends on various factors, including the type of treatment procedure you are opting for and your location. The cost may also depend on the experience and qualification of your surgeon, the number of sessions needed based on the severity of your condition, and the location of the clinic.

The overall cost will also depend on whether you have insurance coverage and exactly what your insurance will cover.

Health Insurance Coverage

Most health insurance plans include coverage for a visit to a vein specialist. Although, some plans may require a referral from your primary care doctor. Your vein specialist will assess your condition and determine whether treatment is necessary.

For example, spider vein treatment costs may not be covered by insurance plans since the removal of spider veins is considered as a cosmetic procedure. Spider veins are typically painless and do not usually cause health concerns. Therefore, eliminating them may not be deemed a medical necessity. However, most plans do include coverage for varicose vein treatment costs. Some predominant varicose vein symptoms include:

• Skin ulcers
• Burning, itching, or throbbing sensation in the legs
• Painful leg cramps
• Changes in skin texture and color around a varicose vein
• Itching or tingling around one or more veins
• Heaviness on tiredness in the legs

Your insurance might not cover the full cost of all the procedures. Please discuss with your insurance company to understand what is covered and how much is covered. 

Out-of-Pocket Expenses

If you do not have health insurance coverage, you can pay out-of-pocket for treatment. Sclerotherapy is often the recommended treatment option for spider veins. The average cost for sclerotherapy ranges between $350 and $500 per session. During your consultation, your doctor will provide you with an estimate of how many sessions you will need so that you have a rough idea of your spider vein treatment cost. 

Ask if Payment Options are Available

To help you cover your expenses, some clinics might offer a payment plan. Consider discussing such plans or potential self-pay discounts with your healthcare provider. However, make sure you don’t automatically turn towards the cheapest treatment center available. Choose a board-certified vein treatment center in your area.
