Self-Pay Options for Bariatric Surgery
Did your insurance deny Weight Loss Surgery?
Do not let insurance denial prevent you from defeating obesity:
We provide very affordable self pay pricing for weight loss surgery by a highly qualified surgical team at an accredited bariatric surgery facility.
At Arch Bariatrics in St. Louis, we believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy life. We participate in several financing and payment options for Self pay Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Balloon and many of our bariatric surgical procedures.
It is important to note that in the long term bariatric surgery reduces the annual health care cost by reducing costly medications, visits to the emergency room and hospital admissions. So weight loss surgery is a good one-time investment to improve long-term health.
Self-pay option is available in situations where you lack medical insurance or when your medical insurance does not cover weight loss surgery.
In addition, some patients choose to bypass their health insurance to take advantage of the benefits of self-paying for bariatric surgery procedures.
I have Insurance. Can I still consider Self Pay Bariatric Surgery Option?
Yes. Many health insurance companies have varying policy requirements that patients must complete prior to being approved for surgery. There may be a need to demonstrate multiple diet consultations over a period of many months.
Patients using health insurance coverage may have to pay a high deductible and often wait up to six months from the time of their initial consultation for their bariatric surgery.
However, self-pay patients will be able to expedite the time between their initial consultation and their procedure by avoiding the lengthy insurance company requirements and paperwork. On many occasions self-pay patients can schedule their procedures much sooner, possibly as soon as one week after seeing Dr. Kumaran Chinnappan.
