Until November 1, 2011 the cost of Endovenous Laser Ablation (ELA) has been totally out of pocket for patients but from this date onwards there is a Medicare Item number that will offset some of the cost of laser. Often ELA is combined with either Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy or Ambulatory Phlebectomies but these procedures have always been associated with Medicare Item numbers.
