I recently had sclerotherapy done and received a bill/receipt for $300 even. My insurance will not cover it unless there is a breakdown - Dr.'s fees and medicine fees. The company is making it difficult to give me a new receipt with the breakdown. Is this normal practice and how do I get my insurance to cover the procedure?

This may be some sort of vascular malformation that can be addressed with laser, in most cases. I would get an exam with a plastic surgeon or vascular surgeon. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles Vein Expert
