    Health insurance is designed to cover medically necessary illness or accident. It would depend on the reason for the spider veins and is it medically necessary to do any procedure to correct them While spider veins are unsightly they are generally not life threatening so unless there is an underlying medical reason then most health insurance will not cover them. Check with your agent or insurance company to be sure.

    The presence of spider veins may mean a more serious condition such as DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

    Surface veins, those that can be visible just under the skin, carry blood to your deeper veins that reside in the muscle. If these veins become weak or strained, they may contribute to venous disease.

    Have your doctor determine if your spider veins are merely unsightly or if there is an underlying medical condition.
