Cash Pay

Paying for surgery on your own, whether you pay in full or choose to finance, has a number of added benefits. Number one, our self-pay patients don’t have to go through months of required criteria, as set forth by insurance companies. The self-pay patient basically “moves to the front of the line,” so to speak, and is able to achieve their goals much sooner. Our finance companies, Care Credit and SurgeryLoans.com, are a great way to help our self-pay patients pay for their surgery more affordably.

Another benefit of self-pay is the opportunity to get all-inclusive pricing. Many bariatric surgeons nickel and dime patients by charging for each and every procedure or “fill” after your initial surgery. Dr. Nick includes all of his post-operative visits and fills for life for LAP-BAND patients in self-pay plans. See what is included in the chart below:
