In India, varicose vein treatment is often covered by health insurance, especially when deemed medically necessary rather than cosmetic. Insurance companies usually require documentation proving symptoms like pain, swelling, skin changes, or ulcers to demonstrate the impact on health.

Treatments like sclerotherapy, VenaSeal, EVLT, and RFA are generally covered when they aim to alleviate these symptoms. However, if the treatment is solely for cosmetic reasons, insurance may not cover the costs. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand to understand your coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses.

The Vein Center in Mumbai, for instance, offers both cashless and reimbursement options under health insurance, making it easier to manage treatment costs.
