LAP-BAND^® Costs and Insurance

Video Transcript 

Covering the costs insurance doesn’t.

It’s unfortunate that some health plans will simply not cover your weight loss surgery, regardless of medical necessity. If this is the case, you should know there are many other ways to cover your LAP-BAND^® System surgery. These include:

• Out-of-pocket payment
  If you have the financial freedom to do so, you may want to consider a lump sum payment.
• Institutional Loans
  There are special medical financing companies that offer easy access and a full range of payment plans.
• Financing Program*
  Many surgeons work with CareCredit^®, a GE Money company, or BLISPay^®, offered by BLIS. Talk to your surgeon about the best financing option for you.
