Is Varicose Veins Laser Surgery Covered Under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY)?

Hello,

Yes, laser treatment for varicose veins is covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY). You can receive cashless treatment at PM-JAY empanelled hospitals after beneficiary verification and treatment package approval.

The doctor will first examine your condition and may advise a Venous Doppler Ultrasound to assess the affected veins. Based on the severity of the disease, the doctor will decide whether laser treatment (EVLT), another procedure, or conservative treatment is the most appropriate option.

• Itching around one or more of the veins
  
  
• Skin discoloration around the varicose vein

Lesser Surgery (Minimally Invasive Treatment Options)

• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) : These procedures use heat to close off the affected vein from the inside, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
  
  
• Sclerotherapy : Involves injecting a solution into the vein to irritate its lining, causing it to collapse and fade over time.
  
  
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Small, targeted incisions are made to remove short segments of varicose veins close to the skin's surface.
