SIR’s Carrier Advocacy Workgroup has released an updated evidence based carrier advocacy letter supporting coverage for ovarian and internal iliac vein embolization for the treatment of pelvic venous disease (pelvic congestion syndrome).

Developed by interventional radiologists, this resource is designed to assist physicians during authorization, appeal, and denial processes when payors question or deny this service. The letter provides clinical rationale, literature support and clear justification to help strengthen your case.

The document was most recently reviewed and updated on Feb. 13, 2026.
