Vein removal covered by insurance?

Beth:  “Julie, my legs look so bad, I don’t even want think about wearing shorts this summer.”

Julie: “Beth, stop being so dramatic.  Haven’t you heard.  There is a new procedure that can take care of your varicose veins, and it covered by insurance!”

Beth: “Are you serious??  That sounds great!  I wouldn’t have to worry about how my legs looked or how bad would feel all summer long.”

Yep, you read that right.  A varicose vein surgery that can be covered by insurance.  Now I will tell you, I don’t know all the ins and outs of the surgery or how it goes about being billed to insurance, but it sounds like a pretty good deal.  Here is the good thing, atleast if you live near Dallas, Texas.  It is being done here. 

Here is the article from the local news station Wfaa.com.

Check it out, talk to your doctor about it and see if its something that might benefit you.

 

Vigilance is the key

Like I said in the original post, this will be a place to find information about breast cancer.  Keeping true to my word, I have come across a good article that talks about staying a step ahead.

Breast cancer survivor, its what you want to say about yourself.   Once you get the upper hand on the cancer, don’t let your guard down.  Continue to stay on top of the fight.

Welcome to our first blog spot.

So, this is what a blog looks like.  Hmm….  not to bad.

Well…  I guess I will start this off and say “Hey.”  This is going to be a blog from the people of Close To You.  Just so you know, Close To You is a medical supply store in Dallas, Texas.  We have been servicing the Dallas metro area for 20 plus years.

We work with doctor’s around the area to help patients with mastectomy fittings and compressions garment fittings.  So with type of know-how, I thought we should put more of our knowledge online to be able to help out more people.  From this point on you will see links to articles that relate to cancer, lymphedema or compression.  You probably will be able to find little bits of humor along the way also.

With all of this said, there is one more thing to say….  Welcome!  I hope you enjoy this little area of the world wide web.  Hopefully something can be learned that you might not have known before.

Take care and we will talk soon!
