What Is
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist to shrink fibroids by blocking their blood supply. UFE is FDA-approved and offers an alternative to hysterectomy or major surgery. Non-surgical UFE treatment is covered by most insurance providers, including Medicaid and Medicare.

FAQs
Does insurance cover treatment?
Non-surgical UFE treatment is covered by most major insurance carriers, including government-backed plans like Medicare and Medicaid. Your specific out-of-pocket obligations for the procedure will vary based on your specific plan.
Other fibroid treatments, including surgical options, may also be covered under your plan, but again, out-of-pocket obligations can vary. Consult your specific policy for further information.
What are uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that arise from the muscular wall of the uterus. You can have one fibroid or many, and they can vary in size and location. Fibroids can cause multiple symptoms that may make everyday life difficult.
Is UFE painful?
UFE is performed by interventional radiologists in a private, outpatient setting, using local anesthesia and conscious sedation. It is not painful, and patients go home the same day.
How long is the recovery?
Most women resume their normal activities within a few days.
Will UFE preserve fertility?
Yes, UFE preserves the uterus and reproductive organs, making it a valuable option for those with fibroids who wish to have children.
