UFE and Insurance: What You Need to Know

If you've been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, and you're exploring treatment options, you may be wondering about UFE and insurance coverage. In this post, we help you navigate covering the cost of fibroid treatment by explaining how insurance can help pay for uterine fibroid embolization.

UFE and Insurance: Covering the Cost of Fibroid Treatment

Most major insurance plans will cover Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) because it is an established treatment option. It is also covered by Medicaid, as revealed in this study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology on the effects of insurance coverage on fibroid treatment referrals from gynecologists.

Furthermore, since UFE is performed as an outpatient procedure, costs are lower than for treatments such as hysterectomy or myomectomy, since they require overnight hospital stays along with general anesthesia. Even better? If you schedule a UFE procedure after having met your plan's annual deductible, your out-of-pocket expenses could be the same as they are for a co-pay after a doctor's office visit!
