Hi.
I am just writing because recently i went to a clinic for a consult for Ultrasound guided schlerotherapy procedure.
I was told that OHIP does not pay for this and that it would cost me $200.00+ per visist.
I googled for other plebologists why would regular large vairicose veins be covered but not with ultrasound.
I found another specialist and he says that you do cover the treatments and that I only have to pay for the stockings.
Can you clear this up.
