Paying for gastric band surgery: the cost of morbid
obesity
For some
patients, the cost of weight loss 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. Our 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.
