Educational Content for Your Fibroid Journey

Your first fibroid consultation is your chance to turn confusing, disruptive symptoms into a clear plan for relief. By coming prepared with your medical history, a detailed record of your bleeding and pain patterns, and any past imaging or lab work, you help your specialist make an accurate, personalized assessment right away. Bringing a written list of questions—and a trusted support person if possible—ensures you understand your fibroid type, treatment options like UFE, and what to expect next. A little preparation makes this visit more productive, more empowering, and a strong first step toward feeling better.

Minimally invasive fibroid treatments are changing the future of women’s health by offering real symptom relief without the risks and long recovery of major surgery. Options like Uterine Fibroid Embolization treat fibroids directly while preserving the uterus, reducing complications, minimizing pain and scarring, and helping most women return to normal life quickly. With strong long-term results and broader eligibility for complex cases, UFE and other non-surgical approaches are giving women safer, more flexible paths to feeling better—without putting life on hold.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization is widely covered by most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, because it’s a well-established, minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic fibroids. Still, coverage isn’t automatic in every case. Many plans require prior authorization, correct procedure and diagnosis coding, and sometimes a referral before approving the procedure. This guide walks you through how to confirm benefits, understand pre-certification, estimate out-of-pocket costs, and navigate appeals if a denial happens. With a little preparation and help from your care team, you can sort out the financial side confidently and stay focused on getting lasting symptom relief.
