In India, Medicare as a government program similar to the U.S. Medicare system does not exist, but many health insurance policies do cover varicose vein treatment if it is deemed medically necessary.

Insurance companies typically require proof that the varicose veins are causing symptoms like pain, swelling, or skin changes. Treatments such as sclerotherapy, venaseal, endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are usually covered when they are intended to alleviate these symptoms.

It is essential to check with your specific health insurance provider to understand the extent of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs. In India, some policies might cover the entire cost, while others may only cover a portion, leaving the patient to pay the remaining amount.
