A Rockville Varicose Vein Doctor Publishes a New Article on Whether Health Insurance Covers Vein Treatments
March 12, 2016. Washington DC. Venous Health Centers is publishing a new article on whether health insurance covers vein disease treatment. According to Dr. Hamza Rana, noted Washington DC vein specialist, many people delay or avoid seeking treatment because they fear it will not be covered by their health insurance plan.
Dr. Rana, vein specialist at this top vein center in Montgomery County, explains, “Health insurance will cover many treatments for varicose veins, because diseased veins can have some serious medical consequences. One of these possible consequences is DVT or blood clots, which can become deadly embolisms. If a Rockville varicose vein doctor believes a patient has or is at high risk for DVT, it is likely that health insurance will cover treatment.” He goes on to note, “Spider veins are the smaller, web-like blue or red veins we sometimes see on our legs or ankles. While unsightly, these veins rarely pose a medical threat, and so treatments to remove them will likely not be covered by health insurance.”
Dr. Rana and the team at Venous Health Centers encourage patients to have a quick and painless venous health examination to find out for sure whether insurance will cover their treatment. For more information on the center and the services they provide, visit:

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins are both common problems among adults in the United States. They affect over 30 million people of both sexes, although women are more likely to experience them than men. Varicose veins are the larger of the two issues, appearing as twisted, bluish veins raised above the skin. Spider veins are smaller and take on a web-like appearance.
Safe and effective vein treatments are available for both spider and varicose veins. These treatments include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and endovenous radiofrequency ablation. All of these procedures have the benefit of being minimally invasive, allowing them to be performed on an outpatient basis in the doctor’s office. These treatments help to restore both the beauty and the health of the legs while minimizing downtime and discomfort.
