zapalicious both private medical ins and Medicare will not pay for blocked jugular veins, until the blockage reaches 75 percent or more with blockage.
In other words, if the blockage is 60 percent they will not pay for it. Doppler scans can read the percentage, but a vascular surgeon has protocol. That is for the neck only. As for the head, which I think they are referring to, that is a brain operation, is is not? If you pay for the whole thing, then you can get whatever you want done. Shents or mesh are not usually used unless the walls are ballooned, too thin or damaged in some way. JMO Elective surgery, as prevention, seems extreme to me.
