Have you ever wondered “Can I afford bariatric surgery”?
Depending on your insurance carrier and physician recommendations, the cost of bariatric surgery may be covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
While Nix Health accepts most major health plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, benefits and coverage for surgical weight loss procedures may vary by insurance company. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to familiarize yourself with your surgical weight loss benefits and any particular costs or requirements.
Depending on your insurance, there may be a portion of the hospital bill that you will be responsible for paying. This amount is separate from any fees from the surgeon’s practice, anesthesiologist, or other related services. One of our financial counselors will contact you prior to surgery to make sure you are aware of your financial responsibilities.
If there is a portion that is not covered by your insurance, we have both financing and payment plan options available.
