Weight loss surgery can be one of the most effective ways of losing weight and keeping it off. But, what if your insurance does not cover this procedure? That means you must pay for it out of pocket, which could be a bit of a financial stress for you. Cash pay for weight loss surgery is more common and more attainable than you might think because of the variety of payment options that are available.
Pursuing you weight loss surgery idea
Once you have decided that you want to pursue the weight loss surgery idea, you should do some significant research on doctors and clinics that provide this service. During your research, you will come across a lot of different places that claim to be the best. But when it comes to your body and your health, you deserve to truly have the best, most reliable and safe procedure possible. Our team at WeightWise brings more experience and more financial payment options to the table, especially when it comes to cash pay.
- Upfront pricing: We are upfront from the very get-go about what the surgery costs will be. Depending on the procedure, costs can range from $7,500 to $15,000. There are also surgical procedures that cost somewhere in the middle, including the Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve and the Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery. We will discuss which procedure is best for you.
- Accommodations: For many people researching weight loss surgery, they forget to factor in the accommodation costs of the whole procedure. If you travel out of state, do not forget to include the costs of airline tickets, hotel, and a rental car. All of this is not covered through insurance and should be factored in. If you must travel out of town to meet our outstanding and experienced team at WeightWise, we will help provide suggestions on affordable places to stay and recover during your time in our city.
- Requirements: Before you start saving your money and planning time off work, be sure to meet with our team to discuss your specific health situation. Weight loss surgery comes with specific risks and we will provide you with information on what requirements need to be met before you make your final decision to undergo the procedure.
