Understanding the costs

If bariatric surgery can improve your health, the expense shouldn’t stand in your way. Fortunately, many insurance companies now cover the cost of weight loss procedures. Our highly trained financial counselors can answer your questions about surgery costs, help you understand your insurance coverage and walk you through all available financing options when you’re ready.

If you’re thinking about weight loss surgery, it’s a good idea to review your insurance benefits first, since it’s possible your plan will cover part, or sometimes even all, of the costs. We’ll closely review your plan with you to make sure you understand your coverage.

If your insurance doesn’t cover the entire cost of surgery, getting a loan is also an option. We work closely with Prosper Healthcare Lending, a leading bariatric surgery financing company, to help our patients pay for bariatric procedures. To date, Prosper has loaned over 300,000 patients more than $5 billion.

With a loan from Prosper, you count one:

  • 100 percent confidentiality
  • Low, fixed rates that never increase
  • No pre-repayment penalties
  • Pay at your own pace (a single monthly payment with fixed three or five-year terms)
