Cash or insurance?

If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for vein ablation, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $9,428.40 and the lowest a median of $1,713.40. At 760 of 865 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.

With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.

Common questions

What is CPT code 36475?

CPT 36475 is the billing code for vein ablation, radiofrequency, first vein. Radiofrequency ablation closes a leaking leg vein with heat, to treat varicose veins.

Is it cosmetic?

It treats symptoms such as pain and swelling; cosmetic spider vein treatment is different.

How long is recovery?

Most people walk the same day.

Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for vein ablation?

It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for vein ablation has a median of $9,428.40 and the lowest a median of $1,713.40; at 760 of 865 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.

Which states have the cheapest vein ablation?

Among 39 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Arkansas ($2,186.86), Tennessee ($2,204.29) and Mississippi ($2,228.20), and highest in Colorado ($14,642.34), Rhode Island ($10,377.00) and Pennsylvania ($9,354.27). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
