Free VEIN SCREENING
We offer free vein screening to all patients. This is ideal for patients who are experiencing the symptoms of varicose veins, such as tired, achy, sore, or swollen legs but are unsure if varicose veins are the cause. During this visit, our ultrasound technologist will assess both legs for backflow in the veins. If indicated based on your findings, we would help you schedule a new vein patient appointment.
We are providing our services in Edina & Minneapolis, MN.
A new patient visit that includes an ultrasound to assess for varicose veins can cost up to $600. This recent patient visit is covered under most insurance plans. Patients with high deductibles who are unsure if they have varicose veins are ideal candidates for vein screening.

That new recent patient visit will be billed to insurance, and the patient will be responsible for the copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs based on their particular plan.
