Laser Vein Closure, First Vein

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 36478

A thin fiber is threaded inside a diseased, enlarged vein, usually in the leg, and laser energy is delivered along its length to seal the vein shut from the inside. This closes off blood flow through the faulty vein, which is then naturally reabsorbed by the body, relieving symptoms of varicose veins such as aching, swelling, or visible bulging.
