Does Insurance Cover UFE?

If you've been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you may be worrying about the cost of treatment. Luckily, at the Dallas Fibroid Center, you can receive minimally-invasive Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). With this treatment option, you can avoid high costs due to overnight hospital stays, general anesthesia and extended periods of downtime. Best of all, because insurance covers UFE in most cases, your out-of-pocket expenses will be further reduced!

Does Insurance Cover UFE? Exploring the Cost of Treatment

Does insurance cover UFE? Because it is established as an accepted fibroid treatment, most insurers will cover this procedure. Even Medicaid will cover UFE, as we see in this Journal of the American College of Radiology study investigating the impact of insurance coverage on selected fibroid treatments.

Now, as mentioned earlier, UFE may be a lower-cost treatment option since it's performed on an outpatient basis. As such, you could pay as little as you would for an office visit, depending on your insurance plan. In contrast, if you undergo a surgical myomectomy or hysterectomy, you will need to cover at least a portion of your hospital stay and anesthesia.
