One of the very first questions every patient asks is — "Doctor, how much will it cost?" That is a fair, important question. At Dr. Raja's Vein & Intervention Clinic in Bathinda, we believe in complete pricing transparency — no hidden charges, no surprise add-ons.
This 2026 guide breaks down the real cost of every modern varicose veins treatment in Punjab, what affects the price, and how insurance / EMI options can make world-class care affordable.
Quick Cost Snapshot (2026, both legs, all-inclusive)
| Procedure | Cost Range (INR) | Day-Care? | Insurance? |
|---|---|---|---|
| EVLT (Endovenous Laser) | ₹55,000 – ₹95,000 | Yes (4 hrs) | Mostly covered |
| RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) | ₹65,000 – ₹1,10,000 | Yes (4 hrs) | Mostly covered |
| VenaSeal (Medical Glue) | ₹1,40,000 – ₹1,90,000 | Yes (3 hrs) | Selective |
| MOCA | ₹1,10,000 – ₹1,50,000 | Yes (4 hrs) | Selective |
| Foam Sclerotherapy (per session) | ₹6,000 – ₹12,000 | OPD only | Often not covered |
| Open Surgery (Stripping — outdated) | ₹40,000 – ₹70,000 | 2-night stay | Mostly covered |
Prices are typical Punjab-region rates as of April 2026. Final cost depends on the CEAP stage of your veins and which leg(s) need treatment. Most patients qualify for 0%-EMI through Bajaj Finserv / Pine Labs at our clinic.
What factors influence the cost?
Varicose vein treatment is highly individualised. The final price depends on:
- CEAP severity (C1 to C6): Spider veins (C1) need only sclerotherapy. Stage 6 with venous ulcer may need EVLT + ulcer wound care + compression — adding 30–40% to the cost.
- Number of legs: Treating both legs in the same sitting costs roughly 1.7× a single leg (not 2× — same admission, same anaesthesia).
- Number of refluxing veins: Long saphenous + short saphenous + perforator reflux all together costs more than a single saphenous closure.
- Energy source chosen: Laser (EVLT) is more economical; VenaSeal glue is premium because the device + glue cartridge are imported.
- Hospital tier: Day-care setup (like ours) keeps cost ~40% below corporate hospital rates while delivering identical clinical outcomes.
Is varicose veins treatment covered by insurance in Punjab?
Good news — yes, in most cases. Since the 2019 IRDAI clarification, EVLT and RFA are recognised as medically necessary procedures (not cosmetic) when venous reflux is confirmed on Doppler ultrasound. We accept:
- Cashless: Star Health, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, Care, Niva Bupa, ManipalCigna, New India Assurance
- Reimbursement: All major Indian insurers + ECHS / CGHS / ESI / Punjab Govt. Mediclaim
- TPA: MD India, Paramount, Vidal, Health India, Medi Assist
Our admin team handles the entire paperwork — patients walk in with the insurance card, walk out healed.
Why our pricing is lower than corporate hospitals
Big-city corporate hospitals quote ₹1.5L – ₹3L for EVLT because they bundle 2-night admission, ICU charges, OT charges, and anaesthetist fees. At Dr. Raja's Clinic:
- Procedure is walk-in / walk-out same-day — no admission charge.
- Local anaesthesia + mild sedation only — no GA, no anaesthetist fee.
- State-of-the-art Diomed laser + VenaSeal device on-site — no equipment markup.
- Dr. Raja personally performs every procedure (1500+ done) — no surgeon-of-the-day mark-up.
Result: identical clinical outcome at 50–60% of corporate-hospital cost.

We accept all standard payment methods plus 0% EMI via:
- Bajaj Finserv Health EMI (3, 6, 9, 12-month options)
