Most patients are able to obtain weight loss surgery as a covered benefit under their health insurance. In some cases, particular insurances will not pay for qualified candidates, or limit the type of operation offered. If the qualified patient still wishes to undergo surgery, they can proceed on a cash pay basis. This means that the patient is responsible for all fees associated with the surgery.This is a significant financial commitment on the part of our patients, and we will make every effort to provide efficient and professional care.
As a result of our approval by BLIS, we are able to participate in an innovative new insurance coverage which allows us to make a commitment to our self-pay patients that should a covered complication occur within certain time frames following surgery, our patients are not responsible for the costs associated with the care of that complication. The complication protection is exclusively part of the package price you will pay for your weight loss surgery. We are happy to provide this benefit to our patients and ease your mind and your wallet in this important decision to have a life-saving surgery.
