There is a misconception that varicose veins may not be covered by insurance. This is incorrect. Varicose veins are a medical disease that cause a whole list of problems for patients including painful or irritating symptoms, (see this blog post for what these include), and also cosmetic concerns. In most circumstances, treatments for varicose veins are covered by medical insurance.
It is becoming increasingly common that many New Zealand companies offer their employees health insurance as a benefit of their employment contract. If you are unsure if you’re covered by insurance, check with your employer – you may be pleasantly surprised like some of our patients.
Delphi Clinic is an affiliated Southern Cross insurance provider and we are also reimbursed by all the main medical insurance companies.
If you do not have insurance, but you do have varicose veins, we also offer interest free payment plans through Humm and Q card so that you can help spread out the cost of the treatment over a number of months.
If you’d like to find out more about what your insurance specifically covers, please send us a message, and we are happy to liaise with your insurance company directly.
