Financing Options

1. Pick your location:

Financing your weight-loss surgery can be a very stressful process. Our center designates a financial consultant to each of our patients. This person will do the following:

Call your insurance company for you and verify if your company offers the benefit
Walks you through step-by-step through all the things that the insurance company will require to do if coverage is available
Assist in financing options if insurance coverage is not available

This is why we assign each patient a personal authorization specialist to stream-line this process. Insurance coverage varies from patient to patient and employer to employer. This is why its important to work with a specialist.
