Bupa Insurance for Varicose Veins
Varicose veins appear as swollen and lumpy veins that often sit just below the surface of your skin. Often the biggest complaint of varicose veins is the appearance but they do come with a number of other possible symptoms such as aching of the legs, ulcers, pigmentation, restless legs and cramping.
Claim with Bupa Insurance
Getting insurance funding for varicose vein treatment is notoriously difficult with many insurers such as Bupa refusing to fund treatment unless it is clinically necessary.
Here at The Private Clinic, we believe that varicose veins are not only an unsightly nuisance but can also be a potential health hazard putting you at a heightened risk of blood clots, ulcers, swelling, hyperpigmentation and venous disease. Because of this, we do not judge patients based on the severity of their veins and whether they are displaying clinical symptoms or not.
The place to start is to book a consultation with one of our expert Consultant Vascular surgeons who can advise on the best journey for you.
