Fast, effective, and FDA-cleared.
What Are Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts (verruca) are painful viral growths on the soles of the feet, caused by HPV types 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63. Because they grow inward from pressure while walking, they often develop deep, root‑like structures that make surface treatments ineffective.
What Is Swift Therapy?
If you have tried freezing, acids, or over-the-counter treatments without success, Swift offers a clinical breakthrough by treating the virus, not just the skin. Swift uses low-dose microwave energy to stimulate your body’s immune response and target the HPV virus beneath the skin. It’s a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that addresses the root cause and not just the symptoms.

Completely non‑invasive.

No Home Care Needed
No creams, pads, or daily routines.
What to Expect
Is Swift covered by insurance?
Swift Microwave Therapy is not covered by any insurance plan, including commercial insurance and Medicare. All insurance companies classify Swift as a non‑covered service, so it is only offered as a self‑pay treatment.
Insurance companies currently label Swift as experimental or investigational, because it uses a newer technology. Even though Swift has strong clinical results, this classification means it does not meet their criteria for coverage.
No. Swift does not destroy tissue, so it does not meet the definition of destruction codes such as 17110 or 17111. Claims submitted under these codes for Swift are consistently denied by all payers.
No. Because Swift is a non‑covered service, it cannot be billed to insurance under any code. This includes wart destruction codes, office visit codes, or any other procedural codes.
Patients choose Swift because it offers many advantages over traditional wart destructive treatments:
• No cutting, freezing, or blistering
• No injections
• No downtime
• No scarring
• Quick treatments that take only a few minutes
• High success rates, even for stubborn or long‑standing warts
