Paying for Lap-Band surgery: the cost of morbid obesity

For some patients, the cost of Lap-Band surgery may be covered by health insurance. Unfortunately, many health plans still consider bariatric (weight loss) surgery a non-covered procedure, forcing the cost upon the patient.  Albany Surgical staff will verify your insurance coverage, and recommend other financing options if you do not have coverage.

This video discusses the cost of Lap-Band surgery, and strategies to help you pay for your surgery.  It also discusses medical tax deductions that you should explore, and the potential savings you may achieve by eliminating the medicines and other costs that often accompany morbid obesity.
