How DPC Can Help Manage Your Varicose Veins

Updated on: December 07, 2023

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and sometimes painful veins that appear under the skin. Varicose veins are usually caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins, which prevent blood from flowing back to the heart. Varicose veins can affect any part of the body, but the legs and feet are the most common sites.

Varicose veins can cause various symptoms, such as:

  • Swelling, heaviness, or aching in the legs

  • Cramps, throbbing, or burning sensations in the legs

  • Itching, dryness, or skin changes around the veins

  • Bleeding, inflammation, or ulcers on the skin near the veins

  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in severe cases

Varicose veins can also affect your self-esteem and quality of life, as they can make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about your appearance.

If you have varicose veins, you may be wondering how to treat them and prevent them from getting worse. In the past, you may have tried compression stockings, lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery, but the results or cost may not have satisfied you. You may also be frustrated with the long wait times, the lack of personalized care, or the limited access to your doctor.

With Direct Primary Care (DPC), you won’t have to deal with insurance companies, co-pays, deductibles, or hidden fees. DPC is a new model of health care that offers you a direct and ongoing relationship with your primary care physician. In DPC, you pay your doctor a monthly or annual fee, and in return, you have unlimited access to your doctor, personalized care, and a range of services at a lower price.

How DPC Can Help Manage Your Varicose Veins

DPC can help you manage your varicose veins in several ways, such as:

Your doctor can be reached at any time, anywhere, via phone, text, email, or video chat, and you can schedule an appointment the same day or next day.

  • Offering more options and flexibility for your treatment. Depending on your condition and preferences, DPC doctors can treat varicose veins with sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, or microphlebectomy. Furthermore, you can choose whether to receive your treatment at the office, at home, or at a nearby facility at the best time and place.

  • You will save money and hassle on your health care. Because DPC doctors don't have to deal with insurance companies, billing, or overhead costs, they can offer you lower prices for treatments. Additionally, you can avoid co-pays, deductibles, and surprise bills, as you pay a flat fee. In addition, your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) can be used to pay for your DPC membership or treatments.
