Varicose veins - Benenden Health Insurance

[AliBumbleBee]

Does anyone have experience of having varicose vein treatment using Benenden health insurance?

My veins are starting to hurt on one leg and I would like them removed but don’t know the process. Do I need a GP’s referral letter before Benenden would see me? Will they cover the full cost of treatment?

Thanks 😊

Hi, Just wondering how you got in? I have membership and my varicose views are getting so sore. Hoping I don’t need to see my GP first!

Hi i had my varicose veins done on it just needed to get my GP to write them a letter confirming its not covered by the NHS. Didn't wait long gone luck

Goodluck

I’ve decided to wait until after the summer to get treatment. Will probably take that long to get a GP’s appointment 🙄 Will report back when I have news!😉

Beneden have stopped their free Varicose Vein treatment for members.
I'd been putting off getting mine done and then in January I thought I'd sort it with them as I'm a member but their scheme had Neded the week before!
You can get the same treatment privately anywhere.

The cost seems to be about £3k wherever you go.

Thanks for the heads up 🙄 very disappointing to hear
