Payment Options for Bariatric Surgery at Alexian Advanced Weight Solutions
About Us
Paying for weight-loss treatment shouldn’t become a burden. We have specialists who can help you determine the best payment strategy for you. A number of options are available:
Insurance
Every insurance policy is different, but we can work with your insurance company to see that you get the maximum coverage possible. If you are enrolled in an HMO, you will need a referral from your primary care physician. Often, insurance companies require medically supervised weight loss including a diet and exercise plan prior to approval. Our program can provide these services through the Nutrition & Disease Prevention Center. Let our insurance specialists work with you to determine your benefits since insurance coverage is constantly changing.
Medicare
Yes, we accept Medicare. Alexian Brothers Medical Center is designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society of Bariatric Surgery.
Cash
We have a standard package pricing for both the Lap Band and gastric bypass procedures that includes your hospital stay, surgeon, and anesthesia. The Kane Center can work with you to discuss the various financing options that are available. They can be reached at 866-716-5263.
Our patient advocates and other financial staff members are also available to discuss payment options with you.
