HEMORRHOID TREATMENT: INSURANCE COVERAGE

Hemorrhoids can cause discomfort, bleeding, and embarrassment. Left untreated, they can lead to blood loss, infections, or a blood clot in the hemorrhoid tissue (thrombosed hemorrhoid). That’s why getting the care you need is so important.

Hemorrhoid treatment is generally covered by insurance. At USA Hemorrhoid Centers, we accept most insurance plans for hemorrhoid treatment, including Medicare, some Medicaid plans, and private insurance plans. This makes high-quality hemorrhoid care and personalized treatment plans more affordable. We are also considered an “in-network” provider for many insurers.  

We believe in convenience and transparency from your first call to your last appointment. If you would like more information on our hemorrhoid treatment or details on your specific insurance coverage, please contact us at 855-805-4247.

Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) and Insurance Coverage

Hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) is an advanced, non-surgical procedure for internal hemorrhoids that we offer at USA Hemorrhoid Centers. It allows patients to get back to their lives quickly — the recovery time for hemorrhoid embolization is less than one week, and most people are ready to return to work the next day.

This safe, effective, FDA-approved procedure is also less risky than hemorrhoid surgery and less painful than other non-surgical treatment techniques, such as rubber band ligation.

If you’re a good candidate for hemorrhoid embolization, you’ll want to know if your insurance will cover the cost of treatment. 

Hemorrhoid artery embolization is covered by insurance. Most insurance plans provide coverage for minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatments, including HAE.

Factors That Impact Insurance Coverage for Hemorrhoid Treatment

Here are the main factors that can impact insurance coverage. 

  • Previous treatments: If you have had previous hemorrhoid treatments that weren’t successful, or if you have a recurrence, your insurance provider might have specific rules about coverage for another treatment.
  • Number of required treatments: Some insurance plans will only cover one treatment in a specified period, such as every 90 days. 
  • Medical necessity: If hemorrhoids are likely to go away on their own, treatment might not be necessary. A hemorrhoid specialist at USA Hemorrhoid Centers can evaluate your hemorrhoids to determine if hemorrhoid embolization is right for you or if you could get relief from at-home care. 

If you’re unsure if your insurance policy will cover your hemorrhoid treatment, we can help. Call us at 855-805-4247 to learn more.

Frequent Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is hemorrhoid treatment covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE). Depending on your insurance policy, you may be responsible for part of the costs. USA Hemorrhoid Centers offers affordable payment options to make paying any uncovered costs easier. Call our office at 855-805-4247 to learn more.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of rounds of HAE treatments required depends on the size, number, and location of the hemorrhoids. In some cases, the patient may require just one treatment session, while for others, it may take two or three treatment sessions to remove the hemorrhoids.

Who fills out my insurance disability paperwork?

Our office will assist you in completing the forms. Please complete the portions with as much information as possible before turning them in.

How much does hemorrhoid treatment cost without insurance?

Generally, non-surgical hemorrhoid treatments such as hemorrhoid artery embolization are more affordable than surgery. A hemorrhoidectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids, can cost $3,800 to over $10,000, depending on where the procedure occurs.1 The cost of hemorrhoid embolization without insurance isn’t as high as the cost of surgery.

What insurance plans cover hemorrhoid removal treatments?

Most insurance plans, including the majority of private insurers and Medicare, cover hemorrhoid embolization for internal hemorrhoids. Before your appointment, you can check your insurance with our online scheduling tool to find out if your plan covers hemorrhoid treatment.

How much does hemorrhoid treatment cost with insurance?

The cost of hemorrhoid treatment with insurance depends on the amount your policy covers. In some cases, insurance covers the total cost of treatment. Other plans might offer partial reimbursement, leaving the patient with some out-of-pocket costs. USA Hemorrhoid Centers does have affordable payment options for uncovered costs, so we can work with you to ensure your treatment is affordable. If you have questions about the costs of your hemorrhoid treatment, call us at 855-805-4247 anytime.
