For those of you who do varicose vein studies prior to ablation:
Have any of your docs (the ones who only do ablations, not full vascular surgeons) considered getting the RPVI credential? The surgeon who sends these studies to us is wondering whether that credential would either help him when he is trying to get the insurance companies to approve payment for his procedures. He has also asked me if there is any possibility of reimbursement ever becoming tied to his having that credential. Just to be clear, he orders the pre-intervention studies, we do them and they are read by our cardiologists. He then plans his procedures around the information we give him.
